Summary:The properties of circularly polarized light has recently been used to selectively reflect chiral metasurfaces. Here we report the more complete basic functionalities of reflectors and absorbers that display various optical phenomena under circularly polarized light at normal incidence as before. For the chiral metamirrors we designed, the circular dichroism in about 0.4 reflection is experimentally observed in visible wavelengths. The experimental results also show high reflectance for right-handed circular polarization with preserved handedness and strongly absorbed left-handed circular polarization at chiroptical resonant wavelengths. By combining a nanobrick and wire grating for our design, we find and offer a new structure to demonstrate the superposition concept of the phase in the same plane that is helpful in effectively designing chiral metamirrors, and could advance development of their ultracompact optical components.
