Abstract

An impedance matching component is disclosed. The impedance matching component is disposed on and closely attached to a first side surface of a function dielectric sheet. The impedance matching component comprises a first plurality of impedance matching layers, each of which has a refractive index distribution represented as follows:where, i represents a serial number of each of the impedance matching layers and is a positive integer; ni(r) represents refractive indices of points in the ith impedance matching layer that have a distance of r from a center of the ith impedance matching layer; ng(r) represents refractive indices of points in the function dielectric sheet that have a distance of r from a center of the function dielectric sheet; nmin represents the minimum refractive index of the function dielectric sheet; and c represents the number of the impedance matching layers.
