Description
Summary:In this study, the traditional transfer matrix method is integrated with the random-access order algorithm to develop a multi-objective optimization function to alter the electromagnetic waves propagation characteristics within the proposed multilayer heterostructure. Employing the brewster angle in conjunction with second harmonic generation via magnetized ferroelectric crystals, an exact incident angle selection area of 68.7° to 80° is demonstrated on the given multilayer heterostructure, showcasing distinct transmission behaviors for the fundamental and second harmonic waves. The multi-faceted control mechanism is integrated with the piezoresistive materials, harnessing the logic levels of the electromagnetic waves’s incidence angle, external pressure, and transmission difference to manage a tunable coding function. Due to the tunability and transmission properties of the multilayer heterostructure, the privacy protection function can be further used to provide a privacy protection zone of 10.5°. Based on maintaining the function of the encoder, the privacy protection function is successfully combined with it. Therefore, this work establishes a novel groundwork for developing tunable and versatile encoders, broadening the potential for electromagnetic waves manipulation.
