    Structure of metasurfaces. (a) P-B metasurface; (b) Transmission metasurface; (c)-(d) The phase shift and transmission amplitude vary with cylinder diameter, when the metasurfaces use SiO2 as substrate, TiO2 as nanoantennas in (c) and Si3N4 as nanoantennas in (d). The p is 0.42 μm and the H is 1.0 μm
