Abstract

In this study, we propose a dynamically switchable multifunctional device operating in the terahertz range. The device is designed by employing a multilayered planar structure that incorporates vanadium dioxide and photosensitive silicon films. We analyze the transmission characteristics and multifunctional attributes of the device. The device exhibits the capacity to transition among diverse functionalities, including linear polarization conversion, field intensity modulation, frequency selection, and wave absorption. The polarization conversion ratio exceeds 90%, and precise control over the amplitude ratio between cross-polarized and co-polarized fields is achievable. Field intensity modulation can be realized through any of three distinct methods. Upon activation of the frequency selection function, the device can effectively operate as a band-stop filter, yielding a -20dB bandwidth of 0.57 THz. Furthermore, in absorber mode, the device demonstrates a peak absorption efficiency of 90%.
