Show moreThe ability to control the electromagnetic near field with metasurfaces offers potential applications over the frequency range from radio frequency to optical domains. In this work, we show an essential feature of metasurfaces, subwavelength field confinement via excitation of a large number of eigenstates in a narrow frequency range, and demonstrate an innovative way of visualizing profiles of metasurface eigenmodes with the aid of a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system. We show that by tuning different eigenmodes of the metasurface to the Larmor frequency, we can passively tailor the near-field distribution to adjust the desired pattern of radio-frequency excitation in a MRI experiment. Our work demonstrates a practical nonperturbed rapid way of imaging metasurface eigenmodes. Show less
