Metagrating is a new concept for wavefront manipulation that, unlike phase gradient metasurfaces, does not suffer from low efficiency and also has a less complicated fabrication process. In this paper, a compound metallic grating (a periodic metallic structure with more than one slit in each period) is proposed for anomalous reflection. We propose an analytical method for analyzing the electromagnetic response of this grating. Closed-form and analytical expressions are presented for the reflection coefficients of zeroth diffracted order and also higher diffracted orders. The proposed method is verified against full-wave simulations and the results are in excellent agreement. Thanks to the... 

Periodic metallic structures are known to support resonant extraordinary optical transmission (EOT). When covered with graphene, these structures can be employed to effectively manipulate the light. In this paper, we propose an analytical circuit model for graphene-covered 1-D metallic gratings. By using the circuit theory, we demonstrate that 1-D periodic array of cut-through slits, which are covered by a continuous graphene sheet, exhibits tunable EOT resonance for TM polarization whose amplitude, unlike its spectral position, can be dynamically tuned by varying the Fermi level of graphene. In this fashion, it is shown that placing a perfect reflector at the bottom of the graphene-covered... 

Graphene-based gratings and metagratings have attracted great interest in the last few years because they could realize various multi-functional beam manipulation, such as beam splitting, focusing, and anomalous reflection in the terahertz (THz) regime. However, most of graphene-based metagratings are designed through numerical simulations, which are very time-consuming. In this paper, an accurate analytical method is proposed for diffraction analysis of a perfect electric conductor (PEC)-backed array of graphene ribbons. In contrast to previous analytical treatments, the proposed method can predict the electromagnetic performance of graphene ribbons not only in the subwavelength regime, but... 

The recently proposed concept of metagrating enables wavefront manipulation of electromagnetic (EM) waves with unitary efficiency and relatively simple fabrication requirements. Herein, two-dimensional (2D) metagratings composed of a 2D periodic array of rectangular holes in a metallic medium are proposed for diffraction pattern control. We first present an analytical method for diffraction analysis of 2D compound metallic metagrating (a periodic metallic structure with more than one rectangular hole in each period). Closed-form and analytical expressions are presented for the reflection coefficients of diffracted orders for the first time. Next, we verify the proposed method's results...
