Broadband linear polarization conversion based on the coupling of bilayer metamaterials in the terahertz region

A linear polarization converter composed of metal patch arrays and metal chiral metamaterial in the terahertz region is designed and analyzed, which can convert linearly polarized wave to its cross polarization in the transmission mode. Compared with other polarization conversion devices, this device has the advantages of broadband and highly efficiency. The in-depth analysis of physical mechanism is illustrated by using simulated surface current and electrical field distributions.
