Unidirectional reflectionless propagation in a non-ideal parity-time metasurface based on far field coupling

We propose a scheme to achieve a controllable unidirectional reflectionless propagation at exceptional point (EP) in a non-ideal parity-time metasurface consisting of two silver ring resonators. The unidirectional reflectionless propagation can be manipulated by simply adjusting the angle of incident wave and the distance s between two silver rings based on the far field coupling. In addition, the angle of incident wave in a wide range of ∼25° is available to achieve the unidirectional reflectionless propagation. Moreover, the unidirectional reflectionless propagation at EP is insensitive to the polarization of incident wave due to the two-ring structure.
