Abstract

A metasurface with an ultrahigh angular sensitivity to the angle of incidence at a chosen frequency is presented. Strongly interacting metamolecules are arranged such that a novel functionality of a metamaterial structure with multiple Fano resonances arises. Tuning the lattice constant of the structure enables a precise control of the angular response. We experimentally demonstrate equal responses for changes in azimuthal and for altitude angles of incidence. The concept could be used to enhance angle of arrival measurements, to determine the direction of a propagating wave or enhance the sensitivity of detectors by shielding them from scattered or unwanted signals.
