Polarization degeneracy of TE and TM eigenmodes for dielectric metasurface in the microwave

Abstract We analyze the TE-TM polarization degeneracy of the guided modes of a dielectric metasurface in the microwave frequency range. We find the optimum metasurface design and investigate the dependence of the degeneracy degree on the propagation direction. Finally, we simulate the possible microwave experiment demonstrating the extraction of isofrequency contours for this metasurface. The results obtained could be useful for flat photonic devices with the function of polarization control.
