Waveguides are critically important components in microwave, THz, and optical technologies. Due to recent progress in two-dimensional materials, metasurfaces can be efficiently used to design novel waveguide structures which confine the electromagnetic energy while the structure is open. Here, we introduce a special type of such structures formed by two penetrable metasurfaces which have complementary isotropic surface impedances. We theoretically study guided modes supported by the proposed structure and discuss the corresponding dispersion properties. Furthermore, we show the results for different scenarios in which the surface impedances possess non-resonant or resonant characteristics, and the distance between the metasurfaces changes from large values to the extreme limit of zero. As an implication of this work, we demonstrate that there is a possibility to excite two modes with orthogonal polarizations having the same phase velocity within a broad frequency range. This property is promising for applications in leaky-wave antennas and field focusing.

As 2D materials with subwavelength structures, elastic metasurfaces show remarkable abilities to manipulate elastic waves at will through artificial boundary conditions. However, the application prospects of current metasurfaces may be restricted by
their phase-only modulating boundaries. Herein, we present the next generation of elastic metasurfaces by additionally incorporating amplitude-shift modulation. A general theory for target wave fields steered by metasurfaces is proposed by modifying the Huygens-Fresnel principle. As examples, two amplitude-shift metasurfaces concerning flexural waves in thin plates are carried out: one is to transform a cylindrical wave into a Gaussian beam by elaborating both amplitude and phase shifts, and the other one is to focus the incidence by amplitude modulations only. These examples coincide well over theoretical calculations, numerical simulations and experimental tests. This work may underlie the design of metasurfaces with complete control over guided elastic waves, and may extend to more sophisticated applications, such as analog signal processing and holographic imaging.
Recently, the concept of valley pseudospin, labeling quantum states of energy extrema in momentum space, has attracted enormous attention because of its potential as a new type of information carrier. Here, we present surface acoustic wave (SAW) wave
guides, which utilize and transport valley pseudospins in two-dimensional SAW phononic crystals (PnCs). In addition to a direct visualization of the valley-dependent states excited from the corresponding chiral sources, the backscattering suppression of SAW valley-dependent edge states transport is observed in sharply curved interfaces. By means of band structure engineering, elastic wave energy in the SAW waveguides can be transported with remarkable robustness, which is very promising for new generations of integrated solid-state phononic circuits with great versatility.
We introduce chiral gradient metasurfaces that allow perfect transmission of all the incident wave into a desired direction and simultaneous perfect rotation of the polarization of the refracted wave with respect to the incident one. Besides using gr
adient polarization densities which provide bending of the refracted wave with respect to the incident one, using metasurface inclusions that are chiral allows the polarization of the refracted wave to be rotated. We suggest a possible realization of the proposed device by discretizing the required equivalent surface polarization densities realized by proper helical inclusions at each discretization point. By only using a single optically thin layer of chiral inclusions, we are able to unprecedentedly deflect a normal incident plane wave to a refracted plane wave at $45^{circ}$ with $72%$ power efficiency which is accompanied by a $90^{circ}$ polarization rotation. The proposed concepts and design method may find practical applications in polarization rotation devices at microwaves as well as in optics, especially when the incident power is required to be deflected.
Requiring neither active components nor complex designs, we propose and experimentally demonstrate a generic framework for undistorted asymmetric elastic-wave transmission in a thin plate just using a layer of lossless metasurface. The asymmetric tra
nsmission stems from the uneven diffraction of +1 and -1 orders on opposite sides of the metasurface, respectively. Compared with previous loss-induced strategies, the present metasurface maintains a nearly total transmission for the transportation side, but a total reflection from the opposite side, exhibiting a higher contrast ratio of transmission. Moreover, we illustrate that this strong asymmetric behavior is robust to the frequency, the incident angle and the loss effect. The present work paves new avenues to compact rectification, high resolution ultrasonography, vibration and noise control in elastodynamics and acoustics.
A superconducting metasurface operating in the THz range and based on the complementary metamaterial approach is discussed. Experimental measurements as a function of temperature and magnetic field display a modulation of the metasurface with a chang
e in transmission amplitude and frequency of the resonant features. Such a metasurface is successively used as a resonator for a cavity quantum electrodynamic experiment displaying ultrastrong coupling to the cyclotron transition of a 2DEG. A finite element modeling is developed and its results are in good agreement with the experimental data. In this system a normalized coupling ratio of $frac{Omega}{omega_c}=0.27$ is measured and a clear modulation of the polaritonic states as a function of the temperature is observed.
