Abstract

Abstract

Dynamically tunable and broadband control of polarization is important in terahertz applications such as wireless communication, sensing, and medical imaging. We propose a single-layered “stepped” hybrid metasurface based on wire resonator and VO₂ phase transition, which enables the flexible switching between broadband quarter-wave plate and half-wave plate. The hybrid metasurface is a transmission-type broadband quarter-wave plate when VO₂ film is insulating phase. At 1.43~2.43 THz, it can convert the normally propagating x-polarization to left-handed circular polarization with an ellipticity over 0.99 and 52% bandwidth of the central wavelength. The hybrid metasurface can realize x- to y-polarization conversion and act as a half-wave plate when VO₂ is in a metallic phase. In addition, we study the wave plate performance at different oblique incident angles. The results show that the quarter-wave plate can achieve dynamic switching between broadband and dual-band properties and the half-wave plate can achieve a frequency tunability of 57% with the increase of the incident angle. The proposed switchable terahertz qurter-/half-wave plate is expected to promote the development of broadband polarization conversion components, tunable switches and compact optical components.
