Uniform illumination is crucial for tera-hertz imaging, and converting a Gaussian beam to a flat top beam is necessary. This study presents a single metasurface lens that efficiently converts a quasi-Gaussian beam to a flat top beam in the near-field region. The design process is divided into three sections to minimize simulation time, and experimental validation confirms high-efficiency conversion at 275 GHz.
A uniform illumination over a screen is crucial for tera-hertz imaging. As such, conversion from a Gaussian beam to a flattop beam becomes necessary. Most of the current beam conversion techniques rely on bulky multi-lens sys-tems for collimated input and operate in the far-field. We present a single metasurface lens to efficiently convert a quasi-Gaussian beam from the near-field region of a WR-3.4 horn antenna to a flattop beam. The design process is divided into three sections to minimize simulation time, and the conventional Gerchberg-Saxton (GS) algorithm is sup-plemented with the Kirchhoff-Fresnel diffraction equation. Experimental validation confirms that a flattop beam with an efficiency of 80% has been achieved at 275 GHz. Such high-efficiency conversion is desirable for practical tera-hertz systems and the design approach can be generally used for beam shaping in the near-field. (c) 2023 Optica Publishing Group
