Metasurfaces possess the ability to manipulate wavefront of electromagnetic waves, but majority them are limited single transmission or reflection mode without altering their structure. To address this limitation, we proposed a switchable terahertz metasurface for manipulation. By capitalizing on phase transition properties vanadium dioxide (its conductivity changes with temperature), can work in controlled by temperature. Additionally, designed 8 encoding elements achieve gradient changing shape unit element. Finally, arranged element create and switching optical device beam steering focusing.

Metasurfaces (MSs) are being extensively researched owing to their ability modulate the polarization and wavefront of electromagnetic (EM) waves in a flexible manner, which usually offer significant advantages including ultra-thinness, low losses, easy fabrication. However, conventional MSs typically operate well only with single polarization. Here, we propose novel design strategy for terahertz (THz) reflective-mode MS that relies on unit-cell arrangement combining propagation phase geometric phase. Our designed can achieve multiple manipulations reflection mode, not limited circular (CP) transformation, but also enabling linear (LP) conversion. The consists periodic array bilayered metal patterned resonator structures sandwiched by dielectric substrate. metallic is made outer single-split-ring (SSR) C-shaped slot (CSS), inner double-split-ring (DSR), its complementary structure. With this design, capable converting LP wave orthogonal counterpart at lower frequency ( f 1 =0.7THz) after reflection. Additionally, higher 2 =1.4THz), proposed convert right-handed CP (RCP) left-handed (LCP) upon or vice versa. π full coverage be achieved independently simultaneously adjusting opening orientation angles SSR based phase, angle DSR We numerically demonstrate beam deflection, planar focusing, vortex both reflected three representative provide proof concept. These findings reveal great potential multifunctional devices dual-polarization imaging communication systems.

Furthermore, 0–2π phase shifts reflected transmitted be achieved simultaneously by adjusting oriented angle (α) along propagation direction.

Conventional metasurfaces for terahertz polarization are limited to performing lateral (in the x-y plane) control of output wave. In such cases, state remains unchanged in each plane along propagation path. Herein, we propose a metasurface that operates longitudinally (i.e., z-axis direction propagation), which modifies throughout Our designed can phase delays left-handed and right-handed circularly polarized (LCP RCP) components incident This enables LCP beam RCP converge through distinct paths, creating Bessel beam. The proposed design achieved linearly wave including both with precise difference Δφ at point within certain range z-axis. varies as distance, resulting rotated path, while rotation angle ranges from 0 π. Based on variable property longitudinal polarization, an application concept dielectric refractive index sensing, additional medium is placed path unknown determined by detecting state. Theoretically, device might find potential applications media excitation, communication, radar ranging.

Abstract Achieving broadband multitasked integration on an ultrathin interface is pivotal to increasing data capacity. However, bifunctional metasurfaces exhibiting high‐efficiency and crosstalk‐free characteristics are rarely seen. Here, three spin‐decoupled criteria developed design the meta‐atoms of metasurfaces. Specifically, six dipole‐loaded quasi‐I‐shaped proposed satisfy in radio band from 8.6 17.8 GHz (about 70% bandwidth) with more than 90% efficiency. The metasurface equipped can keep dispersionless phase gradients two orthogonal circular polarizations. This work demonstrates scheme metasurface, yielding independent multimode vortex beams completely decoupled helicities. Besides, other possible applications illustrated perspective half‐wave plant (polarization control). Accordingly, multitasked‐type fabricated achieve different functionalities: polarization conversion full‐polarization anomalous refraction. schemes offer broadband, polarization‐multiplexing, multitasked‐integration routes for complex electromagnetic wave manipulations within a subwavelength thickness, which stimulate development electromagnetic/optical devices multiplexing techniques.
