Omnidirectional-total-reflection metagratings: A compact strategy for guiding mechanical waves
Guidance of classical waves is key to many technologies, but high-efficiency, omnidirectional performance is difficult to achieve. Here, an ultrathin, broadband metagrating is proposed for suppression of parasitic diffraction and guiding mechanical waves along an arbitrary path.
