The invention discloses a
cascade active
magneto-optical terahertz non-reciprocal deflection device based on an
indium antimonide-medium composite metasurface, and belongs to the technical field of novel artificial electromagnetic materials and terahertz science. According to the invention,
indium antimonide, the medium metasurface and the wave plate are combined, and the two
layers of structures are cascaded, so that multi-degree-of-freedom control and scanning of light beams are realized. Different static magnetic fields are applied through an
electromagnet, so that
indium antimonide generates a Faraday
optical rotation effect on incident terahertz
waves, the polarization angle of the incident terahertz
waves is controlled, and the spin state of the incident terahertz
waves on the
geometric phase metasurface is further achieved. And meanwhile, the
geometric phase metasurface generates different deflection effects on different
spinning states. Through the combination of the above devices, the terahertz active deflection device can realize the deflection of dynamic light beams, and finally realizes the terahertz active deflection device which works in a range of 0.4-0.55 THz and has a
deflection angle range of 42-67.8 degrees. Moreover, due to the fact that the time reversal symmetry introduced by the
magnetic field is broken, the device further has nonreciprocity, and the stability of the
system is protected. The device has the advantages of active adjustability, integration, good stability and the like, and has a good application prospect in the fields of terahertz communication,
radar, imaging and the like.
