The invention discloses a dynamic polarization regulation and control device based on an anisotropic chiral
metamaterial. The dynamic polarization regulation and control device is composed of a
metal reflecting layer, a layer of
refractive index adjustable material and a layer of chiral structure (planar anisotropic structure). Mainly based on the microcavity interference effect, adjustable materials with different refractive indexes are filled in the microcavity between the planar anisotropic chiral
metamaterial and the
metal reflecting layer, external excitation (such as
electricity, light, heat,
humidity and the like) is applied to the
refractive index adjustable materials, the
refractive index of the materials is dynamically adjusted, the interference effect of the microcavity is changed, and thus, continuous regulation and control among
linearly polarized light,
elliptically polarized light and circularly polarized light are realized. The device has the advantages that polarization regulation and control are convenient, the device size is small, the integration level is high, device
processing is compatible with an existing integration process, and the working
wavelength can be regulated and controlled at will from
ultraviolet to
millimeter wave bands. The dynamic polarization regulation and control device has wide application prospects in the fields of stereoscopic display, polarization illumination and the like.
