Problems solved by technology

[0005] In recent years, based on two-dimensional metamaterials / metasurfaces, a large number of polarization conversion functional devices that meet the needs of practical applications have been realized. However, with the advancement of technology, passive metasurfaces can no longer meet current application requirements, and polarization conversion devices are gradually becoming multifunctional. Tunable active direction, the integration of tunable and diverse functions into a single metasurface has become an emerging research field

Abstract

The invention discloses an adjustable and controllable reflection type terahertz polarization converter based on vanadium dioxide, wherein an efficient and tunable reflection type polarization converter is realized based on a phase change process of vanadium dioxide from an insulation state to a metal state. The polarization converter has an active adjustment and control function on terahertz waves, wherein the unit structure of the polarization converter is composed of a three-layer structure, the bottom layer is an aluminum metal reflecting layer, the middle layer is a polyimide dielectric layer, the top layer is a double-skew symmetrical rectangular resonant ring composed of aluminum metal and phase-change material vanadium dioxide, and periodical arranging is performed in the x and y directions to form a metasurface microstructure. According to the invention, the polarization converter has an active regulation and control function on reflection amplitude under high polarization conversion efficiency, has very strong robustness on perturbation conditions such as structural defects of the polarization converter, external environment and the like, overcomes the defects of passive regulation and control in a traditional structural device, and can realize regulation and control on amplitude at different temperatures.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of metasurface functional devices in the terahertz band, in particular to an adjustable reflective terahertz polarization converter based on vanadium dioxide. Background technique [0002] Terahertz (THz for short) waves are located in the transition region between electronics and photonics, and between microwave and infrared (0.1-10 THz) in the electromagnetic spectrum. The unique spectral position makes THz waves have microwave penetration and optical imaging functions, and also exhibits many electromagnetic properties that microwave and infrared bands do not have, such as broadband, coherence, transient, and lower photon energy. [0003] Polarization is one of the essential properties of electromagnetic waves. Electromagnetic waves can load richer information through polarization. With the development of 5G and 6G communication technologies, the requirements for the ability of electromagnetic waves to carry informa...
