The fascinating optical properties of metamaterials and metasurfaces are intrinsically wave-vector (k) dependent and spatial dispersion effects induce a complex optical response. Here, Mueller matrix spectroscopic ellipsometry, providing both amplitude and phase information in the visible, is used in a large frequency and k-space range to characterize a plasmonic meander and assign the polarization effects to the microscopic plasmonic excitations of a metasurface. This leads to a fundamental physical insight into the optical properties of the plasmonic meanders: the effect of closed-film resonant coupling is used for large polarization rotation and high transmission, and multiple optical functions are created within one compact design, which cannot be obtained by any natural crystal.
