Controlling the phase distribution of wavefronts using optical metasurfaces has led to interesting optical properties and applications. Here, we explore the control of phase distribution through polar-dielectric metasurfaces composed of doped SiC nanosphere arrays. We investigate the impact of doping concentration on the optical properties of SiC nano-spheres. Our results indicate that increasing the doping of SiC nanoparticles influenced electric dipolar resonances, whereas it did not change the dipolar resonances. Using this concept, we numerically studied the extension of this idea to form metasurface arrays of single, dimer and linear trimers of the doped SiC nano-spheres. Using different doping schemes, we studied the improvement of the reflectivity at frequencies greater than the longitudinal optical phonon frequency.
