Modeling and manufacturing for surface wave control.

Spada, Luigi La; Hao, Yang

Abstract

Recently, a huge interest emerged in the field of surface waves, in particular the possibility to control and manipulate their propagation properties at will. The aim of this paper is to present a new approach to design new devices for surface waves manipulation. All the steps will be considered and interlinked each other: from modeling to manufacturing, through design. To validate the proposed approach, two structures, an all-dielectric device, and a meta-surface implementation, for surface wave cloaking will be presented and compared. The proposed method offers great potential, not only in terms of device properties design, but also it makes easier the manufacturing process, in different practical application fields.
