Dual-mode terahertz broadband polarization conversion metasurface with integrated graphene-VO2

Yijia Zhao et al.

Summary: This article presents a dynamically switchable broadband dual-mode polarization conversion metasurface in the terahertz (THz) regime. The metasurface is composed of a double-layer graphene grating, metal resonator, and gold-vanadium dioxide (VO2) alternating grating and silicon dioxide (SiO2) dielectric spacer. The phase transition capability of VO2 is utilized to switch the polarization conversion between transmission mode and reflection mode, while the design of the double-layer graphene grating enhances the transmittance in transmission mode. The polarization conversion ratio (PCR) in the two modes can be dynamically adjusted by changing the Fermi level of graphene and the conductivity of VO2. The proposed dual-mode metasurface has potential applications in the design of optical polarization control devices for spectroscopy, imaging, etc.

Point-Source Geometric Metasurface Holography

Yanjun Bao et al.

Summary: Introducing an effective point source (a pinhole) allows for full decoupling of spin, wavelength, and coordinate in meta-holograms, enabling spin-decoupled, full-colored metasurface holography and dynamic holography controlled with the position of the point source. This breakthrough not only offers an alternative approach to overcome the interrelation limitations of geometric metasurfaces, but also paves the way for advanced functionalities with meta-optics in reality.
