In this context, it is essential to shift our perspective on encryption systems and adopt a hybrid approach combining software and hardware encryption to withstand new attacks characterized by high power and speed. To this end, we have designed a metasurface that can operate statically while employing a dynamic structure by engineering input polarization relative to output polarization. Specifically, when polarization x is incident on our structure, half of the power is converted to polarization y, which represents the cross-polarization, while the other half remains in the original polarization x, referred to as co-polarization. By appropriately arranging the unit cells in the co-polarization, we achieve a superposition of two modes L = −1, +1 for the OAM wavefront, while in the cross-polarization, we obtain a superposition of two modes L = −3, +3. The same conditions apply to polarization y, where in polarization x or cross, we have a superposition of two modes L = −3, +3, but in polarization y or co, the superposition yields two modes L = −2, +2. This metasurface is combined with software-based XOR encryption, complicating the task for unauthorized eavesdroppers.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":21151,"journal":{"name":"Results in Optics","volume":"21 ","pages":"Article 100881"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2025-08-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144867446","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Additionally, a parallel full wave simulation is performed to investigate the equivalent circuit model (ECM) validation. According to the reported simulation results, the proposed graphene-based sensor leverages both design methodology and sensible response to probable toxic gas existence. This stems from highly sensitive behavior against variations in the surrounding environment’s refractive index. The proposed graphene-based sensor is capable of showing perfect absorption peaks @ 2.5 THz, 5.5 THz, and 8.5 THz while each peak possesses 0.2 THz width. Ample results are provided to explore the sensor sensitivity against design parameters including the structure geometry, physical constants, and external stimulation. Additionally, carbon monoxide is considered to pollute the space with different concentrations. The sensor responses for this situation are investigated from 0 to 400 ppm and interpreted.

These signals are decoded using successive interference cancellation (SIC). Each user receives a combination of desired signals, interference from higher-priority users, and additive noise, all of which affect performance. The signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) of each user is computed to determine the achievable rate using Shannon’s capacity formula. Additionally, users harvest energy from the received signals based on a specified energy conversion efficiency. To maximize the system’s sum rate, we propose a joint beamforming and power control optimization strategy, ensuring that each user meets a minimum energy harvesting requirement.
