Abstract

Abstract Electrically tunable metasurfaces with pixel-level phase control are good candidates for dynamic manipulation of the beam direction in the terahertz band, which is a critical and highly desired technique for next generation communications. Yet the complex biasing, limited aperture and cross talk hinders its progress. In this study, we propose a magnetic-field-globally controlled metasurface for beam switching. The metasurface is composed of a bi-layer silicon metagrating on a magneto-optical substrate InSb. The beam direction is governed by two physical processes: the magnetically-controlled polarization and the polarization-controlled diffraction. By utilizing the circular dichroism and Faraday rotation effects in InSb, the metasurface can operate at two frequency bands. The beam is switched among four directions by properly choosing the magnetic field biasing and the frequency. This study offers a promising solution for beam management using magnetic field biasing and in a global manner.
