Problems solved by technology

However, such materials have low electromagnetic response to high frequencies. In order to achieve a good polarization control effect, the polarization control devices usually made are bulky, the structure size is much larger than the response band of electromagnetic waves, and the working band is narrow, the cost is high, and it is difficult to integrate. , unable to meet the increasingly urgent needs of communication, imaging, and spectroscopy technologies in the visible and terahertz bands in the future
In addition, polarization modulation devices based on chiral metamaterial structures can only achieve chiral optical effects in fixed wavelength bands, and cannot achieve polarization modulation in a wide range, which limits the application of chiral metamaterials in polarized lighting and display directions.

Embodiment 1

[0020] Example as figure 1 As shown, the passive dynamic polarization control device based on anisotropic chiral metamaterial, the dynamic polarization control device includes a substrate 1, an adhesion promotion layer 2 on the substrate, a metal on the adhesion promotion layer The reflective layer 3, the adjustable refractive index material 4 located on the metal reflective layer, and the chiral structure layer 5 located on the adjustable refractive index material layer. When the left-handed circularly polarized light is incident on the chiral structure layer 5, only a part of the light can be converted into the cross component right-handed circularly polarized light, which is reflected by the metal reflective layer 3 as left-handed circularly polarized light, and then transmitted through the chiral structure layer 5 as right-handed circularly polarized light. The remaining left-handed circularly polarized light is reflected by the metal layer 3 again, and returns to interact...

Abstract

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.
