چکیده
We present the results of calculation and experimental testing of the tunable wavelength terahertz polarization converter represented by a set of plane-parallel birefringent plates with an in-plane birefringence axis. An experimental device has been produced and tested. The calculations show that the effect of interference between the interfaces, including air gaps, may be neglected. The considered device may be used as a simple narrow achromatic waveplate, or a Solc band pass filter for the specified wavelength.

metamaterial with tunable terahertz anisotropy
Dichroic polarizers and waveplates exploiting anisotropic materials have vast applications in displays and numerous optical components such as filters, beamsplitters and isolators. Artificial anisotropic media were recently suggested for the realization of negative refraction, cloaking, hyperlenses, and controlling luminescence. However, extending these applications into the terahertz domain is...

In this paper, a compact plasmonic metamaterial absorber for terahertz frequencies is proposed and simulated. The absorber is based on metamaterial graphene structures, and benefits from dynamically controllable properties of graphene. Through patterning graphene layers, plasmonic resonances are tailored to provide a dual band as well as an improved bandwidth absorption. Unit cell of the design...
متن کاملTerahertz polarization conversion with quartz waveplate sets.
We present the results of calculation and experimental testing of an achromatic polarization converter and a composite terahertz waveplate (WP), which are represented by sets of plane-parallel birefringent plates with in-plane birefringence axis. The calculations took into account the effect of interference, which was especially prominent when plates were separated by an air gap. The possibilit...
متن کاملUltrathin Terahertz Quarter-wave plate based on Split Ring Resonator and Wire Grating hybrid Metasurface
Planar metasurface based quarter-wave plates offer various advantages over conventional waveplates in terms of compactness, flexibility and simple fabrication; however they offer very narrow bandwidth of operation. Here, we demonstrate a planar terahertz (THz) metasurface capable of linear to circular polarization conversion and vice versa in a wide frequency range. The proposed metasurface is ...
