Multifunctional transmission polarization conversion metasurface based on dislocation-induced anisotropy at the terahertz frequency.

Abstract

Manipulating the polarization state of terahertz waves is critical for terahertz communication systems. This study proposes a terahertz band polarization conversion metasurface based on dislocation-induced anisotropy. Numerical simulation results revealed that the polarization conversion of orthogonal linearly polarized light, orthogonal circularly polarized light, linearly polarized light to circularly polarized light, and circularly polarized light to linearly polarized light can be realized. Furthermore, the simulation revealed that multifunctional polarization conversion could be achieved by various structures of the bilayer metasurface. Thus, the proposed design can be generalized. The proposed metasurface exhibits considerable potential for applications in terahertz communications.
