Surface waves (SWs) have attracted a widespread attention due to the characteristic of subwavelength confinement and convenient manipulation in photonic integrated circuits. Though metasurface provides a powerful tool in realizing the conversion between freely propagating waves and surface modes in recent years, a gulf between guided waves (GWs) and SWs in terahertz (THz) range still exists as a bottleneck for on-chip photonic integrated devices. Here, we implemented the conversion from THz GWs to SWs through the coupling of a lithium niobate (LN) subwavelength waveguide and metasurface antennas on an all-feature on-chip THz integrated platform. The conversion process and transmission mode of the THz waves were directly visualized via a time-resolved imaging system. Based on the dynamic process, the formation of SWs could be clarified through analyzing the dispersion relation of propagating modes, which is in good agreement with numerical models. In further, relying on the numerical simulation, SWs were induced from the collective oscillations of the metasurface antenna array and the maximum coupling efficiency was around 62.6 percent. Our work provides an efficient approach to control of GWs, and promotes the practicability of THz surface integrated devices, including THz surface spectroscopy sensing.
