TL;DR
This paper introduces all-silicon terahertz metasurfaces that can generate multiple polarization states and vector beams for advanced communication and secure information transmission.
Contribution
The novel use of interleaved meta-atoms to combine geometric and propagation phase for multi-polarization and vortex beam generation.

The approach offers new possibilities for terahertz polarization manipulation and secure communication.
Abstract
Polarization multiplexing enhances communication capacity but faces material limitations requiring complex device cascading. This paper proposes a strategy for generating multiple polarization states by combining geometric phase and propagation phase in spatially interleaved meta-atoms. This strategy enables the simultaneous generation of scalar (including linearly polarized, circularly polarized) and vector beams (VBs) in the transmitted wave, along with precise wavefront shaping capabilities for these distinct polarization states. Two all-silicon terahertz metasurfaces are designed that are capable of independently manipulating both the phase and amplitude of different polarization states in transmission. The first metasurface achieves focusing with multi-polarization states under left-handed circularly polarized (LCP) illumination, while the second realizes longitudinal focusing of…
