Polarization-Multiplexing Bessel Vortex Beams for Polarization Detection of Continuous Terahertz Waves

Zhao Jiang et al.

Summary: Determining the polarization states of continuous terahertz waves is challenging, but crucial for photonic applications. This study proposes a metasurface-like metallic waveguide array (MWA) to measure the phase difference and amplitude ratio of the orthogonal components of polarization-multiplexing vortex beams. By converting the orthogonal components into Bessel vortex beams and measuring their interference patterns, the polarization state of incident waves can be determined. This method has great potential for applications in THz detection, communication, and sensing.

Bifunctional Manipulation of Terahertz Waves with High-Efficiency Transmissive Dielectric Metasurfaces

Zhuo Wang et al.

Summary: In this study, a set of dielectric metasurfaces are designed and fabricated to achieve efficient spin-multiplexed wavefront controls on THz waves based on high aspect-ratio silicon micropillars. Experimental demonstrations show a record high absolute efficiency of 92% for the photonic-spin-Hall-effect using a dielectric metasurface encoded with geometric phases only. Spin-multiplexed controls on circularly polarized THz beams, such as anomalous refraction and focusing, are also experimentally demonstrated with an efficiency of 88% using a dielectric meta-device encoded with both spin-independent resonant phases and spin-dependent geometric phases. This study paves the way for the realization of multifunctional, high-performance, and ultra-compact THz devices for applications in biology sensing, communications, and more.
