Tunable multifunctional terahertz metasurface based on an indium antimonide medium

Active adjustable terahertz multifunctional devices are crucial for the application of terahertz technology. In this paper, we propose a composite metasurface structure based on an indium antimonide metal octagonal pattern, which achieves different functional switching by controlling the phase state of indium antimonide material under different ambient temperatures. When indium antimonide exhibits in the dielectric state, by stacking and encoding the unit cell, the designed metasurface has the functions of two-beam splitting beam superposition, vortex beam and quarter beam superposition, and dual vortex beam superposition for circularly polarized and linearly polarized wave incidence. When indium antimonide appears in the metallic state, the encoding metasurface alters the modulation function of incident circularly polarized and linearly polarized terahertz waves. This terahertz metasurface provides a new approach for the design of multifunctional devices that can flexibly regulate terahertz wave metasurfaces.
