Abstract

We analyze single and multilayered metamaterials by modeling each layer as a\nmetasurface with effective surface electric and magnetic susceptibility derived\nthrough a thin film approximation. Employing a transfer matrix method, these\nmetasurfaces can be assembled into multilayered metamaterials to realize\ncertain functionalities. We demonstrate numerically that this approach provides\nan alternative interpretation of metamaterial-based perfect absorption, showing\nthat the underlying mechanism is a modified Fabry-Perot resonance. This method\nprovides a general approach applicable for decoupled or weakly coupled\nmultilayered metamaterials.\n
