Abstract
In our recent experiment, it is discovered that the interaction of resonant metasurfaces and mid-infrared femtosecond laser pulses can realize damage patterns that overcome this limitation, and the geometry of the trench can be controlled by the pulse intensity, polarization, and the total pulse number. In this study, we report the particle-in-cell (PIC) simulation of the interaction of the M-shape metasurface and 200-fs mid-IR laser pulses with high intensity. The simulation results suggest that localized lattice heating and explosions occur at a scale and in the relationship with the polarization consistent with the experimental data.
