Non-local metasurface generates highly efficient transmission vortex by intrinsic singularity and generalized kerker effect by Hang Xu, Jingguang Chen, Bo Wang, Hui Li, Chunyu Song, Qi Tan, Zhengyi Zhao, Wenzhe Liu, Lei Shi, Jie Li, Jianquan Yao

“…We demonstrate that the intrinsic singularities—amplitude-zero points in the scattering patterns of electric dipole (ED) and magnetic dipole (MD) resonances – enable the conversion of spin angular momentum (SAM) into orbital angular momentum (OAM), generating a vortex electric field distribution. By arranging these dipolar units into a periodic array, we establish a dual-resonance non-local metasurface that improves directivity and efficiency via non-local collective interactions and the generalized Kerker effect. …”
