The invention discloses a terahertz polarization
multiplexing metasurface calculus filtering device and an
image processing method and device, and relates to the technical field of calculus
image processing. The calculus filter, namely the polarization
multiplexing metasurface, is a
structural unit array formed by micron-sized structural units through two-dimensional periodic
continuation, each
structural unit is composed of a
metal film and a rectangular hole formed in the center of the
metal film, and the two rectangular holes are the same in size and different in rotation angle. Furthermore, an
image processing method and device based on the terahertz polarization
multiplexing metasurface are designed, the polarization multiplexing metasurface is placed on a common focal plane of a 4f optical
system, and a polarization-dependent coherent
transfer function is applied to a
spatial spectrum of an input image; therefore, differential and integral
processing functions of the image are realized on the two cross-polarization channels at the same time. Experiments verify that a terahertz time-domain
spectroscopy system is used, and prove that differential and integral characteristics of an input image can be kept at the same time, and differential and integral operations of the image are realized. Under the condition that a coherent
light source is not needed, differential and integral
processing of the image can be achieved in the terahertz
frequency band, the performance is high, the structure is simple, and wide application prospects are achieved in the fields of terahertz image
processing, optical
simulation calculation and the like.
