Abstract

A dual-functional polarization converter designed for both reflective polarization conversion and asymmetric transmission in the terahertz band is proposed, leveraging the phase transition of vanadium dioxide. In its metallic state, vanadium dioxide facilitates reflective mode operation. Simulation results demonstrate that the polarization conversion rate exceeds 90%, converting linearly polarized or circularly polarized waves into cross-polarized waves, with relative bandwidths of 100.6% and 100.8%, respectively. Experimental validation confirms the polarization conversion capabilities of the device. In the insulating state of vanadium dioxide, the converter demonstrates a notable asymmetric transmission effect for wide-angle incident circularly polarized waves. The proposal of this converter fills the gap of switchable polarization conversion and asymmetric transmission functions, and has broad application prospects in multifunctional polarization devices and multi-channel polarization detection.
