Abstract
Based on the phase transition properties of vanadium dioxide (VO2), a metamaterial device is designed in this paper, which can achieve multiple switchable functions. When VO2 is in the metallic state, the proposed device can realize broadband absorption with peak absorbance more than 90 % in the frequency range of 2.40–6.73 THz and broadband linear polarization conversion (LPC) with polarization conversion ratio (PCR) greater than 90% in the range of 1.80–4.21 THz, respectively, depending on whether the incidence of terahertz (THz) electromagnetic (EM) wave is from top side or bottom side. When VO2 is in the insulated state, the proposed device can achieve LPC of half-reflection and half-transmission (HRHT) and transmissive linear-to-circular (LTC) polarization conversion. The study in this paper has guiding significance in the design of THz metamaterial devices with multiple functions.
期刊介绍:
This journal establishes a dedicated channel for physicists, material scientists, chemists, engineers and computer scientists who are interested in photonics and nanostructures, and especially in research related to photonic crystals, photonic band gaps and metamaterials. The Journal sheds light on the latest developments in this growing field of science that will see the emergence of faster telecommunications and ultimately computers that use light instead of electrons to connect components.
