Entire Transmission in Negative Directions through a Single Layer of Nanorods

We numerically investigate the regulation of beam direction by a single layer of high electrical permittivity nanorods with two kinds of cross-arranged radii. It is found that an oblique incident optical beam transmits more than 95% with a wide range wavelength of 80 nm near 1550 nm in a negative direction. In particular the efficiency can be up to 100% around the wavelength of 1550 nm at a wide-range angle. The results are very promising for designing subwavelength optical elements to realize beam steering in optical integrated circuits.
