Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of terahertz radiation technology, and in particular to a metasurface-based enhanced Smith-Purcell terahertz radiation device and method. Background Art

[0002] Terahertz waves have significant applications in communications, imaging, spectral analysis, and other fields, but the development of efficient terahertz radiation sources has been a key bottleneck restricting technological development. Existing terahertz radiation sources are primarily categorized as electron, photon, and surface plasmon. Electron-based Smith-Purcell (SP) radiation offers significant potential due to its simple structure, low cost, and tunable frequency. It generates electromagnetic radiation through the interaction of a high-energy electron beam with a periodic metal grating. The frequency of this radiation is determined by the grating period and the electron beam velocity, theoretically covering a wide spectrum from ultraviolet light to the terahertz band.

[0003] However, traditional Smith-Purcell radiation mainly relies on the diffraction mechanism of a one-dimensional grating. When the electron beam passes through the grating, the excited electromagnetic energy needs to be radiated into free space through diffraction. The energy distribution of the grating diffraction follows the Fraunhofer diffraction law. Only a small amount of energy is concentrated in the direction of the main lobe, and most of the energy is diverged in the form of side lobes, causing the radiation intensity (|E|²) to decay rapidly with distance, resulting in low radiation intensity.

[0004] Therefore, how to enhance the intensity of Smith-Purcell terahertz radiation has become a technical problem that needs to be overcome urgently by those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The object of the present invention is to provide a metasurface-based enhanced Smith-Purcell terahertz radiation device and method to overcome the problem of low radiation intensity of traditional Smith-Purcell radiation in the prior art caused by the one-dimensional grating diffraction mechanism.

[0006] The present invention solves the above technical problems through the following technical solutions: A metasurface-based enhanced Smith-Purcell terahertz radiation device includes a plurality of metasurface structures composed of a single layer of conductive flexible material. The metasurface structures are periodically arranged in a two-dimensional array. A penetrating composite hole unit is provided on the metasurface structure. The hole cross-section of the composite hole unit is composed of a first rectangle, a second rectangle and a circle. The first rectangle and the second rectangle intersect vertically to form a cross structure, and the center of the cross structure is the center of the circle.

[0007] A further improvement of the present invention is that the conductive flexible material is one of antimony tin oxide, graphene or carbon fiber.

[0008] A further improvement of the present invention is that the composite hole-digging unit is filled with gas, and the gas is at least one of air, oxygen or nitrogen.

[0009] A further improvement of the present invention is that the two-dimensional array includes a transverse array and a longitudinal array, the transverse array arranges no less than five metasurface structures, and the longitudinal array arranges no less than thirty metasurface structures.

[0010] A further improvement of the present invention is that the cross-section of the metasurface structure is a square with a side length of 30 μm to 3 mm.

[0011] A further improvement of the present invention is that the thickness of the super surface structure is 50-100 μm.

[0012] A further improvement of the present invention is that the first rectangle and the second rectangle are equal, have a length of 150 μm, and a width of 20 μm.

[0013] A further improvement of the present invention is that the radius of the circle is 11-50 μm.

[0014] The present invention also provides a working method of a metasurface-based enhanced Smith-Purcell terahertz radiation device, which grazes an electron beam at 0.1 to 0.9 times the speed of light onto the surface of the metasurface-based enhanced Smith-Purcell terahertz radiation device, thereby generating enhanced terahertz radiation within an observation angle range of 0 to 180°, wherein the movement direction of the electron beam is a 0° reference.

[0015] A further improvement of the present invention is that the observation angle range is 0-90°.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following positive effects: The metasurface-based enhanced Smith-Purcell terahertz radiation device provided by the present invention is provided with a penetrating composite hole unit on the metasurface structure, and the hole cross-section is formed by the vertical intersection of a first rectangle and a second rectangle to form a cross structure, and the center of the cross structure is the center of a circle. This special hole structure, combined with the periodic arrangement of the metasurface as a whole in a two-dimensional array, can more effectively utilize the local field enhancement characteristics of the metasurface. Specifically, the vertically intersecting rectangles form a hollow channel, and charge accumulation occurs at the edge due to the absence of a medium. Combined with the evanescent field generated by the grazing electron beam, a high-intensity electromagnetic field is formed in the cross-intersection area, which directly enhances the radiation energy. The center of the circle coincides with the center of the cross structure, which optimizes the symmetry of the electric field distribution, reduces scattering loss, further focuses energy, and improves radiation intensity.

[0017] Furthermore, the use of a single layer of conductive flexible material to form a metasurface structure avoids the superposition of complex devices and makes the entire device structure simpler compared to the method of adding other devices to an ordinary grating to enhance the radiation intensity. It not only reduces the manufacturing difficulty and cost, but also reduces the energy loss and signal interference caused by the complex structure, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the device.

[0025] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 A metasurface-based enhanced Smith-Purcell terahertz radiation device includes a plurality of metasurface structures 1 composed of a single layer of conductive flexible material, wherein the metasurface structures 1 are periodically arranged in a two-dimensional array, and a penetrating composite hole unit is provided on the metasurface structure 1. The hole cross-section of the composite hole unit is composed of a first rectangle 2, a second rectangle 3 and a circle, wherein the first rectangle 2 and the second rectangle 3 intersect vertically to form a cross structure, and the center of the cross structure is the center of the circle.

[0026] The metasurface-based enhanced Smith-Purcell terahertz radiation device provided by the present invention is provided with a penetrating composite hole unit on the metasurface structure 1, and the hole cross-section is formed by the vertical intersection of a first rectangle 2 and a second rectangle 3 to form a cross structure, and the center of the cross structure is the center of a circle. This special hole structure, combined with the periodic arrangement of the metasurface as a whole in a two-dimensional array, can more effectively utilize the local field enhancement characteristics of the metasurface. Specifically, the vertically intersecting rectangles form a hollow channel, and charge accumulation occurs at the edge due to the absence of a medium. Combined with the evanescent field generated by the grazing electron beam, a high-intensity electromagnetic field is formed in the cross-intersection area, which directly enhances the radiation energy. The center of the circle coincides with the center of the cross structure, which optimizes the symmetry of the electric field distribution, reduces scattering loss, further focuses energy, and improves radiation intensity.

[0027] Specifically, the conductive flexible material is one of antimony tin oxide, graphene or carbon fiber.

[0028] The metasurface structure 1 is constructed using a single layer of conductive flexible material. Compared with the method of adding other devices to an ordinary grating to enhance the radiation intensity, this avoids the superposition of complex devices and makes the entire device structure simpler. It not only reduces the manufacturing difficulty and cost, but also reduces the energy loss and signal interference that may be caused by the complex structure, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the device.

[0029] Specifically, the composite hole-digging unit is filled with gas, and the gas is at least one of air, oxygen or nitrogen.

[0030] Specifically, the two-dimensional array includes a transverse array and a longitudinal array, the transverse array arranges no less than five metasurface structures 1, and the longitudinal array arranges no less than thirty metasurface structures 1.

[0031] Specifically, the cross section of the metasurface structure 1 is a square with a side length of 30 μm to 3 mm.

[0032] The metasurface structure 1 is periodically arranged in a two-dimensional array. Based on the Smith-Purcell radiation dispersion formula, the required period length is calculated to precisely control the terahertz wavelength. This design allows the device to flexibly adjust the radiation wavelength according to different application requirements, broadening its application range and meeting diverse terahertz radiation application scenarios.

[0033] The Smith-Purcell radiation dispersion formula is specifically:

[0034] where λ is the side length of the metasurface structure 1, p is the period length, n is the diffraction order, β is the ratio of the electron beam velocity to the speed of light, and cosθ is the cosine of the observation angle.

[0035] Specifically, the thickness of the supersurface structure 1 is 50-100 μm.

[0036] Specifically, the first rectangle 2 and the second rectangle 3 are equal, with a length of 150 μm and a width of 20 μm.

[0037] Specifically, the radius of the circle is 11-50 μm.

[0038] The present invention also provides a working method of a metasurface-based enhanced Smith-Purcell terahertz radiation device, which grazes an electron beam at 0.1 to 0.9 times the speed of light onto the surface of the metasurface-based enhanced Smith-Purcell terahertz radiation device, thereby generating enhanced terahertz radiation within an observation angle range of 0 to 180°, wherein the movement direction of the electron beam is a 0° reference.

[0039] Specifically, the observation angle range is 0~90°.

[0040] Example 1 A metasurface-based enhanced Smith-Purcell terahertz radiation device comprises a plurality of metasurface structures 1 formed of a single layer of conductive flexible material, the metasurface structures 1 being periodically arranged in a two-dimensional array. The metasurface structures 1 are provided with penetrating composite digging units, the digging cross-section of the composite digging units being composed of a first rectangle 2, a second rectangle 3, and a circle, wherein the first rectangle 2 and the second rectangle 3 intersect perpendicularly to form a cross structure, the center of the cross structure being the center of the circle; the conductive flexible material is antimony tin oxide, the composite digging units are filled with air, the two-dimensional array comprises a transverse array and a longitudinal array, wherein five metasurface structures 1 are arranged in the transverse array, and thirty metasurface structures 1 are arranged in the longitudinal array; the cross-section of the metasurface structure 1 is a square with a side length of 380 μm; the thickness of the metasurface structure 1 is 100 μm; the first rectangle 2 and the second rectangle 3 are equal, with a length of 150 μm and a width of 20 μm; and the radius of the circle is 50 μm.

[0041] See also Figure 3 When the device body 4 is working, the electron beam from the electron beam emission source 4-1 grazes the surface of the above-mentioned metasurface-based enhanced Smith-Purcell terahertz radiation device at 0.1 to 0.9 times the speed of light along the plane electron beam motion direction 4-2. The detection point 4-3 is set in the free space above the metasurface structure 1 to detect the frequency domain information of the point. Figure 4 , which is a schematic diagram of the device body 4 detecting a frequency of 0.58 THz.

[0042] The metasurface-based enhanced Smith-Purcell terahertz radiation device provided by the present invention can increase the radiation intensity by 20 times compared with ordinary gratings, and can achieve efficient enhancement without adding additional complex devices, with significant and stable effects. Compared with the traditional solution of enhancing radiation intensity by adding other devices, the present invention only realizes the function through the periodic arrangement of the metasurface and the composite hole-digging unit design, without the need for complex components, and the overall structure is simpler, easy to integrate and miniaturize. The Purcell radiation dispersion formula precisely calculates the side length of metasurface structure 1 and tailors its period to precisely control the wavelength of radiated terahertz radiation, meeting the wavelength requirements of various application scenarios. The geometric design of the composite hole-punching unit (a combination of a cross and a circle) further optimizes the local field distribution. Adjusting the size and shape of the hole cross-section allows for flexible modulation of electromagnetic field interactions, broadening the frequency tuning range. Utilizing the metasurface's local field enhancement properties, when the electron beam grazes, the evanescent field acts on metasurface structure 1. The absence of a dielectric medium creates charge accumulation and strong field regions at the edges of the hollowed-out regions, directly enhancing the radiation energy through the strong electric field effect. This results in high energy conversion efficiency and a clear physical mechanism. Through this innovative metasurface design, while enhancing terahertz radiation intensity, the structure is simplified, costs are reduced, and frequency is flexibly controlled. This provides an efficient, economical, and tunable solution for the practical application of Smith-Purcell radiation THz sources, with significant potential for applications in terahertz imaging, communications, spectral detection, and other fields.

[0047] See also Figure 5 , the peaks correspond from left to right to the frequencies detected by the device bodies 4 of Example 1, Example 2, Example 3, Example 4 and Example 5 respectively. The device bodies 4 of Examples 1 to 5 only change the side length (period) of the metasurface structure 1, and the internal structure dimensions are not changed.
