The invention relates to the field of electromagnetic metasurfaces, in particular to a
vanadium dioxide metasurface-based switchable terahertz dual-function device. The switchable metasurface is formed by
compositing a
vanadium dioxide pattern layer, a
polycrystalline silicon dielectric layer, a gold pattern layer, a
vanadium dioxide thin film layer, a
polyimide dielectric layer and a gold reflecting layer, wherein the
vanadium dioxide pattern layer, the
polycrystalline silicon dielectric layer, the gold pattern layer, the
vanadium dioxide thin film layer, the
polyimide dielectric layer and the gold reflecting layer are arranged in sequence from top to bottom in a
diagonal mode, and the gold pattern layer is composed of a gold
split ring resonator and an L-shaped gold bar. A
broadband absorption function can be realized by the switchable metasurface; when
vanadium dioxide is in an insulated state, the metasurface can be switched to realize a reflective
linear polarization conversion function. By utilizing the
phase change characteristic of the vanadium dioxide material, the characteristics of two dual-function devices, namely the
broadband absorber and the reflective
linear polarization converter, are integrated into one metasurface structure, so that the problem of single function in the traditional metasurface structure is solved, and the application of the metasurface structure is more flexible and universal.
