Summary: In recent years, coding metamaterials have gained significant attention for their ability to digitally control electromagnetic wave scattering/transmission patterns. This study presents a novel hard-coded metasurface design using stripe and checkerboard patterns of bilayer unit cells. Experimental and simulation results demonstrate efficient multi-beam reflection in the THz range with uniform amplitude and 1-bit coded phase. The metasurface design holds promise for large-scale fabrication and can be used for the development of actively coded metasurfaces.

Summary: This paper proposes an efficiency adjustable metasurface composed of bi-layered complementary Z-shaped structure graphene, which can control the terahertz wavefront's circular polarization in transmission mode. The simulation results demonstrate that the metasurface structure can achieve efficient circular polarization conversion and a full range of phase shift by adjusting the rotation angle of the graphene. Additionally, the adjustable graphene metasurface can realize anomalous refraction and planar focusing effects, and the efficiencies can be adjusted by changing the graphene's Fermi energy level. This research highlights the wide application prospects of adjustable graphene metasurfaces in communication, imaging, and other terahertz wavefront manipulation devices.

Summary: A planar phase gradient metasurface introduces two additional wave vectors to the reflected wave vector by having phase gradients in two in-plane directions. The direction of the anomalous reflected wave can be determined from the incident wave vector components and additional phase gradient components when the incident angles are close to the normal vector. The expanded generalized Snell's law, combined with array theory, accurately predicts the directions of the reflected waves from a planar PGM when the magnitude of the reflected wave vector is larger than that of the incident wave vector. This prediction is compared with simulated RCS results and measured results in a compact range.

Summary: In this paper, a reflective metasurface composed of a dielectric substrate sandwiched with a double-split-ring (DSR) structure InSb and a metal ground plane was proposed to achieve high-efficient thermal switchability of circular-polarization (CP) conversion, anomalous reflection, and planar reflective focusing effect in a broadband manner in the terahertz (THz) region. The simulation results showed that the designed InSb metasurface structure can achieve high-efficient reflective CP conversion with a magnitude of over 0.8 on average from 0.7 THz to 1.55 THz under the external higher thermal condition (On state), while the magnitude is nearly zero under the external lower thermal condition (Off state). Furthermore, the proposed metasurface structure can achieve a high-efficient reflective CP conversion with an efficiency of about 0.7 under the On state and a 2π phase full coverage by adjusting the oriented rotation angle (α) of the DSR structure InSb. As proof of concept, two InSb metasurfaces were constructed to demonstrate the broadband switchable anomalous reflection phenomenon and reflective focusing effect based on Pancharatnam-Berry (PB) phase principle. The proposed metasurface has great potential for future THz wavefront modulation applications.

Summary: In this paper, a broadband reflective metasurface (MS) with patterned graphene is proposed and numerically investigated for wavefront manipulation in the terahertz (THz) region. The unit-cell of the proposed reflective MS consists of a dielectric substrate, a single layer oval-hollow-structure (OHS) graphene, and a metal ground-plane, enabling cross-polarization conversion of circularly polarized (CP) waves in reflection mode. By changing the orientation angle of the OHS graphene, full 2 pi phase shifts of the reflected orthogonal CP wave can be achieved over a broadband frequency range with different Fermi energy levels (EF). Furthermore, the efficiency of reflection CP conversion is highly dependent on EF variation. Particularly, the efficiency of anomalous reflection and focusing effect of the reflective MS can be dynamically adjusted by changing EF. It has great prospects in THz applications such as communication and imaging.

The result shows that the spatial distribution of the birefringent object was more clearly visualized in the longer wavelength combined with circularly polarized light illumination. This finding indicates the potential of using polarization imaging with circularly polarized light illumination in the near-infrared range for visualizing birefringent objects with scattering.

The study shows that the device can provide switching even when the middle waveguide is nonlinear and the outer waveguides are linear. Furthermore, the effect of loss to gain ratio on critical switching power and the impact of launched light power and gain (loss) value on transmitted power are also studied.

Summary: This paper studies the structural similarity between RGB and spectral images and proposes a non-iterative Images Structure Similarity (ISS) method for fast reconstruction of spectral images. Additionally, the input of the Deep Image Prior (DIP) method is optimized for the first time by using the initial spectral data reconstructed by ISS, leading to an improved starting value for the iteration. The experimental results show that the proposed method can enhance the reconstruction quality in both spectral and spatial resolutions, while significantly reducing the reconstruction time compared to other DIP-based methods.

Summary: In this study, a novel family of elliptical Airyprime vortex beams (EAPVBs) is introduced, which inherits the excellent self-focusing properties of the circular Airyprime vortex beam (CAPVB). The asymmetric focusing of EAPVB leads to some novel properties, such as the splitting of high-order optical vortex and the formation of two foci. By taking advantage of these properties, EAPVB is constructed as a tunable optical bottle for particle capture.
