Non-Reciprocal Hyperbolic Propagation over Moving Metasurfaces

Hyperbolic propagation offers exciting opportunities in nanophotonics, from sub-diffraction imaging to enhanced local density of states. This transport regime is typically induced by strong modulation of conductivity, i.e., with alternating metallic and dielectric material properties. Here, we analyze a moving impedance surface, showing that suitably tailored homogeneous metasurfaces can support one-way hyperbolic propagation when in motion, adding non-reciprocity to hyperbolic propagation phenomena, and without suffering from nonlocal effects stemming from discretization or finite granularity of the surface.
