Problems solved by technology

However, this technology can only realize the switching of two states before and after the phase change, such as focusing and non-focusing of the lens, and cannot realize arbitrary wavefront modulation
Secondly, due to the slow temperature change and response, the speed of this modulation method is relatively slow, and it needs to be etched, which is more complicated in production.

[0034] The first embodiment of the present invention relates to a dynamic modulation method of terahertz wave phase, which is used to realize dynamic display of holographic images. Specifically, semiconductors are used to realize metal properties, and the polarization state of terahertz waves is converted, thereby realizing dynamic modulation of the phase of terahertz waves. Based on the good modulation effect of metals on terahertz waves, the mechanism of dynamic modulation of terahertz waves in the embodiments of the present invention is to change the properties of non-metallic materials between metal and non-metal states. For example, the semiconductor itself is non-metallic, but it will generate carriers under light to exhibit metallic characteristics, and modulate the phase of the terahertz wave. When the light is removed, the carriers revert to their initial state and assume a non-metallic state again.

Background technique [0002] Terahertz technology is known as one of the technologies that will change the future world. It is widely used in security inspection, non-destructive testing, wireless communication and many other fields. In the past ten years, terahertz source and detector have developed rapidly as two terminal devices. In contrast, the development of intermediate devices for active modulation of terahertz is slow, and these devices are very important for expanding terahertz applications, such as information encryption, transmission and storage, terahertz beam shaping, focusing and imaging, etc. Wait. In the visible light band, spatial light modulators can programmably modify the spatial intensity and phase distribution of light beams, and are widely used in optical information processing, imaging, and communica...
