Reconstructing Polarization Multiplexing Terahertz Holographic Images with Transmissive Metasurface

Abstract

There is a growing trend towards the development of high resolution and multiplexing metasurface holograms. In this paper, we propose the reconstruction of polarization multiplexing terahertz (THz) holographic images based on transmissive metasurface. The metasurface composed of all-dielectric meta-atoms is designed as a multi-foci metalens and the focal points of the metalens are utilized as the pixels of a reconstructed image. We analyze the effects of focal length and phase pixel number of the metalens on focal point to achieve high-resolution holographic images. In addition, by switching the polarization of incident lights, holographic images with different patterns are reconstructed on its focal plane. Such high-resolution and polarization multiplexing metasurface holograms is promising for applications in THz communications, information engineering, and encryption.
