Article Abstract
This paper presents a rectifying metasurface (RMS) that enables wide-angle, polarization-insensitive wireless energy harvesting in the Wi-Fi frequency range. The RMS consists of a metasurface integrated with rectifying diodes, a low-pass filter (LPF), and a resistive load. In the structural design, the RMS incorporates four Schottky diodes placed on the bottom structure and connected to the top structure through four metallized vias. This configuration facilitates impedance matching between the metasurface and the diodes, omitting the need for conventional rectifier circuits or external matching networks and removing the impact of soldering variations. A 3 × 3 RMS prototype was manufactured and subjected to experimental validation. The measurements confirm that the RMS achieves a peak RF-to-DC conversion efficiency of 68.3% at 5.8 GHz with a 12.5 dBm input power, while maintaining stable performance across a wide range of incident angles and polarization states.

In this paper, we propose a polarization-insensitive and ultra-bandwidth terahertz metamaterial absorber based on vanadium dioxide. The absorber consists of a vanadium dioxide () resonant layer, a photonic crystal slab dielectric layer, and a metallic reflection layer. When is in the metallic state, the absorber realizes ultra-bandwidth absorption in the frequency range of 4.

Conventional metalenses struggle with chromatic aberration and narrow field of view (FOV), making it challenging to meet the dispersion requirements for large apertures and compensate off-axis aberrations for wide FOV. Here, we demonstrate a hybrid metalens module consisting of five refractive plastic lenses and a polarization-insensitive metalens to achieve broadband achromatic imaging within 400-700 nm and a wide FOV up to 100°. The system exhibits negligible variation in focal length (~1.

A terahertz metamaterial absorber with broadband characteristics, leveraging the phase transition properties of vanadium dioxide (VO), is proposed. In comparison to existing terahertz absorbers, the design presented in this study demonstrates a reduced thickness, an expanded tunable range, and a broader bandwidth. Simulation results indicate that with a VO conductivity of 200,000 S/m, the absorber achieves a bandwidth of 6.

This research presents an innovative polarization-insensitive metasurface (MS) harvester designed for energy harvesting applications at 5 GHz, capable of operating efficiently over wide reception angles. The proposed MS features a novel wheel-shaped resonator array whose symmetrical structure ensures insensitivity to the polarization of incident electromagnetic (EM) waves, enabling efficient energy absorption and minimizing reflections. Unlike conventional designs, the metasurface achieves near-unity harvesting efficiency, exceeds 94% under normal incidence, and maintains superior performance across various incident angles for TE and TM polarizations.
