In article number 1800198 , Yang Chen, Jie Gao, and Xiaodong Yang, show that in the forward direction, the bifunctional metasurface acts as a chiral linear polarizer, which only allows the transmission of a certain incident handedness and converts it into the specified linear polarization. In the backward direction, the metasurface functions as an anisotropic circular polarizer to selectively convert a certain linear polarization component into the desired circularly polarized transmission.
