提出了一种基于V形单元结构阵列的太赫兹波段宽带透射式偏振转换器, 该偏振转换器由光栅-V形超表面-光栅组成, 顶层、底层是一对相互正交的光栅, 中间层为V形超表面, 层与层间被聚酰亚胺隔开. 该结构在0.35—1.11 THz频段内可以实现交叉偏振透射率达到80%以上, 偏振转换率达到99%以上. 对该结构在交叉偏振透射率高和低频率处的表面电流和电场进行仿真, 发现相邻V形结构间会产生偶极振荡, 在透射率高的频率处, 相邻V形结构间电场具有相近的值, 而在透射率低的频率处, 相邻V形结构间电场具有相反的值. 同时, 还分别研究了V形阵列的单层结构和V形阵列后放置光栅的双层结构对于垂直入射x偏振太赫兹波的响应, 并分析了引起高偏振转换率和宽带的物理机理.Metasurfaces have attracted extensive attention due to their powerful functions, especially the manipulation of the polarization state of electromagnetic wave in many different areas, which have aroused a lot of research interest. In this work, a broadband transmission polarization converter based on V-shaped element array in terahertz band is designed and analyzed, which consists of grating-V-shaped metasurface-grating. The top layer and bottom layer form a pair of crossed gratings, and the middle layer is a V-shaped metasurface, and the layers are separated by polyimide. The structure parameters of the polarization converter are optimized by CST microwave studio, changes of which can result in narrow band or low transmission. Cross-polarization transmission rate and polarization conversion rate can reach more than 80% and 99%, respectively, in a frequency range from 0.35 THz to 1.11 THz. By studying the electric field distribution in the substrate under the V-shaped metasurface , it is found that the real part of the cross-polarization electric field between adjacent V-shaped metasurfaces presents similar values in a frequency range from 0.35 THz to 1.11 THz, resulting in high cross-polarization transmission. However, the real part of the cross-polarization electric field between adjacent V-shaped metasurfaces presents opposite values, resulting in low cross-polarization transmission at 1.40 THz. At the same time, the responses of the single layer structure of the V-shaped array and the bi-layer structure of the grating placed behind the V-shaped array to vertically incident x-polarized terahertz waves are investigated respectively, and the results show that the single-layer V-shaped array can convert part of linearly polarized incident light into cross-polarization light, however, in the bi-layer structure, Fabry-Perot cavity is formed between the V-shaped array and the grating, and the cross polarization transmission increases. This indicates that the V-shaped array provides the capability of polarization conversion, and the existence of the grating makes the F-P cavity inside the structure create the conditions for the back and forth reflection of terahertz waves. The combined action of the V-shaped metasurface and orthogonal grating results in a high polarization conversion rate.
