Two-dimensional dynamic beam steering by Tamm plasmon polariton

Abstract

The dynamic steering of a beam reflected from a photonic structure supporting Tamm plasmon polariton is demonstrated. The phase and amplitude of the reflected wave are adjusted by modulating the refractive index of a transparent conductive oxide layer by applying a bias voltage. It is shown that the proposed design allows for two-dimensional beam steering by deflecting the light beam along the polar and azimuthal angles.
