摘 要:We propose a framework that connects the spatial symmetries of a metasurface to its material parameter tensors and its scattering *** provides a simple and universal way to effortlessly determine the properties of a metasurface scattering response,such as chirality or asymmetric transmission,and which of its effective material parameters should be taken into account in the prospect of a homogenization *** contrast to existing techniques,this approach does not require any a priori knowledge of group theory or complicated numerical simulation schemes,hence making it fast,easy to use and *** working principle consists in recursively solving symmetry-invariance conditions that apply to dipolar and quadrupolar material parameters,which include nonlocal interactions,as well as the metasurface scattering *** overall process thus only requires listing the spatial symmetries of the *** the proposed framework,we demonstrate the existence of multipolar extrinsic chirality,which is a form of chiral response that is achieved in geometrically achiral structures sensitive to field gradients,even at normal incidence.
