▎ 摘  要

In this article, we use a versatile homogenization approach to model the linear and nonlinear optical response of two metasurfaces: a plasmonic metasurface consisting of graphene patches and a dielectric photonic nanostructure consisting of silicon photonic crystal (PhC) cavities. The former metasurface is resonant at wavelengths that are much larger than the graphene elements of the metasurface, whereas the resonance wavelengths of the latter one are comparable to the size of its resonant components. By computing and comparing the effective permittivities and nonlinear susceptibilities of the two metasurfaces, we infer some general principles regarding the conditions under which homogenization methods of metallic and dielectric metasurfaces are valid. In particular, we show that in the case of the graphene metasurface the homogenization method describes very well both its linear and nonlinear optical properties, whereas in the case of the silicon photonic nanostructure the homogenization method is only qualitatively accurate, especially near the optical resonances.
