Polarization Modulation by free-Standing Asymmetric Hole Arrays
We theoretically demonstrate modulation of light
polarization by a crossed rectangular hole array with asymmetric arm
lengths. There are two waveguide modes that can modulate the x- and
y- polarized incident waves independently. A specific structure is
proposed to convert a left-hand incident wave to a right-hand outgoing
wave by transmission.
