太赫兹波束可调谐的编码超表面设计

编码超表面可以通过编码序列设计对波束进行灵活调控,文中提出一种基于二氧化钒(VO_(2))的可调谐太赫兹编码超表面.设计中借助可调谐单元与不可调谐单元,通过VO_(2)由绝缘态到金属态的相变,在0.97 THz处实现了多种远场波束的动态切换.此外,还设计了双频带太赫兹编码超表面,在0.97和1.97 THz两个不同频率下均可实现双波束.这项工作为设计可调谐编码超表面、实现波束间灵活调控开辟了一条新的途径,将在通信和雷达领域具有广泛的应用前景.

Transmissive 2-bit anisotropic coding metasurface

Coding metasurfaces have attracted tremendous interests due to unique capabilities of manipulating electromagnetic wave.However,archiving transmissive coding metasurface is still challenging.Here we propose a transmissive anisotropic coding metasurface that enables the independent control of two orthogonal polarizations.The polarization beam splitter and the orbital angular momentum(OAM)generator have been studied as typical applications of the anisotropic 2-bit coding metasurface.The simulated far field patterns illustrate that the x and y polarized electromagnetic waves are deflected into two different directions,respectively.The anisotropic coding metasurface has been experimentally verified to realize an OAM beam with l=2 of right-handed polarized wave,resulting from both contributions from linear-to-circular polarization conversion and the phase profile modulation.This work is beneficial to enrich the polarization manipulation field and develop transmissive coding metasurfaces.

太赫兹超表面中的连续域束缚态

连续域束缚态(BIC)是发生在辐射连续域频率范围内且被完全局域的共振,具有无限大的Q值,光与物质之间产生强相互作用,该现象对新型功能器件的发展至关重要。在太赫兹超表面中引入BIC机制,为定制高Q值共振提供了新的思路。从BIC的分类、形成机制、基本性质等方面对BIC进行了简要描述,重点介绍了BIC在THz超表面中的新应用,如高灵敏度传感、手性增强、光谱编码、近场成像。此外,BIC携带拓扑电荷,由偏振矢量缠绕圈数定义,这样的电荷只能通过改变系统参数来产生或湮灭。BIC的拓扑性质也为拓扑光子学新现象的发现提供了新的可能,BIC现象的研究可以为光学和光子学领域带来更多的发展。
