Abstract

A broadband quarter-wave plate based on a single-layer anisotropic metamaterial proposed by the present invention relates to a transmission control device for terahertz waves, which is composed of a dielectric layer and an artificial electromagnetic material structure layer. The artificial electromagnetic material structure layer is photoetched on the upper surface of the dielectric layer, and is composed of periodically arranged continuous step-shaped zigzag line structure layer basic units. The wide-band quarter-wave plate based on single-layer anisotropic metamaterials proposed by the present invention can realize the polarization conversion function from linearly polarized light to circularly polarized light in a wider frequency band, and is suitable for broadband polarization in the terahertz band. The development of conversion devices and compact nanophotonic devices is of great significance.

Description

Technical field: [0001] The invention relates to a transmission control device for terahertz waves, in particular to control the transmission of electromagnetic waves linearly polarized state and circularly polarized state, and realizes the conversion of broadband linearly polarized light to circularly polarized light through the delicate combination design of wire grid structures , which can be compared to a quarter-wave plate. Background technique: [0002] Terahertz (THz) waves generally refer to electromagnetic waves with frequencies in the range of 0.1-10 THz, which are located between millimeter waves and infrared waves, occupying an important position in the electromagnetic spectrum. Terahertz waves have many superior characteristics, and have important research value and application prospects in basic disciplines such as physics and life sciences, as well as applied disciplines such as security detection, medical imaging, and communication technology. [0003] Metam...
