Generalized Huygens' Condition as the Fulcrum of Planar Nonlocal Omnidirectional Transparency: From Meta‐Atoms to Metasurfaces

Abstract: Fresnel reflection has been known for centuries to fundamentally impede efficient transmittance across planar interfaces, especially at grazing incidence. In this work, the generalized Huygens' condition (GHC) is introduced to resolve such intricacies in metasurface (MS) designs and allow omnidirectional transparency. Compared to common numerical metamaterial approaches, the analytical framework herein yields surprisingly simple closed‐form conditions, carefully leveraging the natural nonlocal mechanisms endowed in planar electromagnetic structures. At the meta‐atom level, the GHC is met by balancing traditional tangential susceptibilities of Huygens' MSs with their unconventional normal counterparts; the latter facilitates the key requisite of vanishing backscattering at the challenging grazing incidence scenario. At the MS level, this central insight is sheerly utilized to engineer realistic all‐angle transparent printed‐circuit‐board (PCB) cascaded admittance sheets. Thoroughly validated in simulation and experiment, this universal GHC demonstrates a resourceful venue for practical implementation of advanced nonlocal devices, e.g., flat optical components, optical analog computers, and spaceplates.
