Abstract

The invention relates to the technical field of terahertz functional devices. The invention provides a bifunctional polarizer based on a vanadium dioxide and Dirac semimetal composite metasurface. Thebifunctional polarizer is formed by periodically arranging a plurality of device structure units, each device structure unit comprises a silicon dioxide layer and a vanadium dioxide layer from top tobottom, two Dirac semimetal U-shaped structures are arranged above the silicon dioxide layer, and a wire grid is arranged below the vanadium dioxide layer. According to the invention, a transmissiontype linear polarization conversion function and a reflection type linear polarization conversion function are integrated, and switching between the two polarization conversion functions is realized through phase change switching between a vanadium dioxide insulation state and a metal state. Compared with an existing polarization converter, the bifunctional polarizer provided by the invention performs function integration, and has the advantages of ultrahigh polarization efficiency, ultrahigh working bandwidth and dual-excitation regulation and control.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of terahertz functional devices, in particular to a dual-function polarizer based on vanadium dioxide and Dirac semimetal composite metasurfaces. Background technique [0002] Terahertz (THz) waves refer to electromagnetic waves with frequencies in the range of 0.1-10 THz. Due to the special position of terahertz waves in electromagnetic waves, and because of the many excellent characteristics of terahertz waves themselves, terahertz waves have become a current research hotspot, and they are widely used in communication, terahertz imaging, radar detection and other fields. [0003] The development and application of THz technology is inseparable from the research and development of various THz functional devices. Among them, THz polarization control devices have important applications in the fields of THz switches, polarization conversion, wave plates, and asymmetric transmission. They are an indispensable ...
