Abstract

Abstract

Polarization conversion has important research significance and application value in the field of terahertz modulation. Traditional polarization conversion devices have many shortcomings, such as large size, low integration, high loss and narrow bandwidth. In this paper, a symmetrical "mountain" structure of resonator is proposed, which can be used to realize the design of reflection and transmission polarization conversion devices. The reflective device realizes the linear polarization conversion with the properties of broadband and extremely high polarization conversion rate. The transmissive device realizes 135.5% ultra-broadband linear polarization conversion. The anisotropy theory is used to analyze the mechanism of polarization conversion in reflective devices, and the Fabry-Pérot-like cavity formed by the resonant structure array and the metallized ground plane is calculated based on the multiple interference theory. The calculated results are in good agreement with the simulations. Furthermore, the Fabry-Pérot-like cavity composed of orthogonal grating and the resonator are used to form a transmissive device. The contributions of different parts of the resonator to the broadband polarization conversion are analyzed. Contribution of different structures validates results for broadband polarization conversion. The research results provide a new idea for the realization of ultra-wideband polarization conversion devices based on fixed phase difference and the application of Fabry-Pérot-like cavities in metasurfaces.
