Abstract

Due to potential applications in next generation high-capacity wireless communication systems, generating and controlling vortex beams carrying orbital angular momentum (OAM) has received considerable attention. In this work, a scheme is proposed to generate two/four splitting vortex beams and focusing vortex beams with different topological charges under left circularly polarized and right circularly polarized terahertz waves under incidence. The meta-unit cell consists of a two-flying-fish-shaped patterned metallic top layer and an identical metallic patterned bottom layer separated by a silica layer. Full-wave simulation results agree well with that of calculation predictions. The proposed terahertz metasurface-based devices are able to carry different OAM modes and can abruptly manipulate during propagation, which indicates that such metasurface-based devices may have promising applications in terahertz wireless communication links in the future.
