  abstract     = {{Metasurfaces are powerful tools for manipulating light using small structures on the nanoscale. In most metasurfaces, near-field couplings are treated as being unfavorable perturbations. Here, we experimentally investigate a structure consisting of sinusoidally modulated silicon waveguides where near-field coupling of local resonances leads to negative coupling, i.e., a negative coupling constant. This gives rise to wave-vector-dependent eigenstates of elliptical, linear, and circular polarizations. In particular, fully circular polarization states are not only present at a single point in momentum space (k-space) but also along a line. This circular polarization line, as well as a linear polarization line, emanates from a polarization degeneracy at the Dirac point. We experimentally validate the existence of these eigenstates and demonstrate the energy-, polarization-, and wave vector dependence of this metasurface as well as its sensitivity to fabrication tolerances. By tuning the incident k-vector, certain polarization-energy eigenstates are strongly reflected, allowing for uses in angle-tunable polarization filters and light sources.}},
