Detailed Description
In order to make the technical means, features and effects achieved by the present invention easier to understand, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention are clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments and the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.
As shown in fig. 1 to 6, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:
dynamic multifunctional terahertz reflection array based on vanadium dioxide and VO (volatile organic compound) 2 In combination with the optimized metamaterial containing the double-opening resonant ring (Split Resonant Ring, SRR) and VO 2 The phase change characteristics of the (C) and the accurate control capability of the metamaterial on electromagnetic waves, and the VO of the phase change material is controlled through external physical stimulation 2 In turn controlling the resonant mode switching of the artificial electromagnetic medium such that the metal-VO 2 The composite regulation and control unit has independent 360-degree phase modulation range in two states (metal state and medium state), can maintain certain efficiency, and controls VO 2 The dynamic switching of the terahertz wave modulation function is realized.
The invention is thus a dynamic multifunctional reflective array based on vanadium dioxide, comprising: the phase modulation structure comprises a plurality of phase modulation unit structures which are arranged in an array, wherein the phase modulation unit structures are composite structures formed by metal and phase change material vanadium dioxide, and the composite structures comprise concentric inner rings and outer rings, and the inner rings are formed by complementary metal opening rings and VO 2 An openingThe ring is composed of VO 2 The symmetry axis of the metal split ring and the x-axis are at an angle of +45 degrees or-45 degrees, and the symmetry axis of the outer ring and the x-axis are at an angle of +45 degrees or-45 degrees.

Further, the phase modulation structure is an m×n array formed by a plurality of modulation units, where M and N are positive integers and M >3 and N >3.
In the phase modulation structure, the opening sizes and the opening directions of the metal opening ring and the outer ring can influence VO respectively 2 Reflection phases of the reflective array in the dielectric state and the metallic state.
Further, the VO-based 2 Dynamic multifunctional reflective array of (2) is arranged on VO 2 In the dielectric state and the metal state, the reflection phases are completely independent.
Further, the VO-based 2 Dynamic multifunctional reflective array through control VO 2 The state change of (2) realizes the function switching of terahertz waves.
The invention provides a preparation method of a dynamic multifunctional terahertz reflective array based on vanadium dioxide, which comprises the following steps:
step one, determining VO 2 For the modulation functions required by the medium state and the metal state respectively, such as focusing, beam deflection and the like, then determining the phase distribution required by the two states respectively, namely the phase required by the position of each unit structure according to the set functions and the three-dimensional phase modulation principle;

For a better understanding of the principles of the present invention, reference is made to the following description, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which:
the dynamic multifunctional terahertz reflection array in the invention is VO 2 A double-ring composite array structure skillfully and effectively combined with a metal microstructure. We pass through the optimization design of the double LC resonance structure and VO 2 Is high in binding efficiency, so that VO 2 When the medium state is switched to the metal state, the phase modulation effect is not phase compensation, but is thoroughly phase reconstruction, so that the modulation effect of the modulation unit in the two states is independent, and therefore independent functional design can be carried out on the two states respectively. The device controls VO by laser 2 The phase change process enables the regulation and control unit to be rapidly converted among different resonance modes, so that the regulation and control unit can realize dynamic function switching. Simulation calculation shows that the dynamic multi-functional THz regulating device has great development potential and practical value.
As shown in fig. 1 and 2, the invention comprises a metal reflective bottom plate 1, a substrate 2 and a phase modulation structure 3 formed on the substrate, wherein the phase modulation structure 3 comprises a plurality of phase modulation units arranged in an array, each phase modulation unit structure is a composite structure composed of metal and vanadium dioxide, the composite structure comprises a concentric inner ring 4 and an outer ring 5, and the inner ring 4 consists of a complementary metal opening ring 402 and VO 2 The split ring 401 is composed of an outer ring 5 made of VO 2 Wherein the symmetry axis of the metal split ring 402 is at a +45 deg. or-45 deg. to the x-axis and the symmetry axis of the outer ring 5 is at a +45 deg. or-45 deg. to the x-axis. By a means ofThe substrate of the composite microstructure array element adopts quartz, the thickness of the substrate is 100 mu m, and the side length is 270 mu m; VO (VO) 2 The thickness is 300nm, the metal material adopts gold, VO 2 And gold are 300nm thick; the outer ring radius is 115 μm, and the inner ring radius is 67 μm; all microstructure linewidths were 20 μm.
When vanadium oxide is in a medium state, the conductivity is about 30S/m, the effect is equal to that of the medium in a terahertz wave band, the transmissivity is high, when terahertz waves are vertically incident, as shown in fig. 3, the surface current is mainly distributed on the metal split ring, the electric field is concentrated at the two ends of the metal split ring due to LC resonance, and VO is generated at the moment 2 The method has little effect on THz waves, only the metal split ring has an independent modulation effect, and the polarization and phase modulation effect of the reflection field mainly depends on the parameter change of the metal split ring; VO when there is external physical stimulus 2 The phase change characteristics of (a) are excited, and the conductivity increases to about 3 x 10 x as the transition from the insulating state to the metal state occurs 5 S/m, the transmissivity is greatly reduced, as shown in figure 4, the surface current and the electric field are distributed on the inner ring and the outer ring, the reflection field is acted by the inner ring and the outer ring together, and the modulation effect is mainly dependent on the parameter change of the outer ring because the inner ring is similar to the metal closed ring.
As shown in fig. 1, in the dielectric state, when the x-direction (or y-direction) linear polarization (i.e. linear polarization) THz wave is vertically incident, due to the anisotropy of the metal split ring, the reflected wave undergoes polarization conversion and generates a certain phase shift, and by changing the size of the opening of the metal split ring, the cross polarization wave can realize 180 ° phase shift change. Similarly, in the metallic state, the outer ring provides anisotropy, the reflected wave undergoes polarization transformation and produces a certain phase shift, when we change the external VO 2 The size of the opening of the ring can realize 180 DEG phase shift change of the cross polarized wave in the metal state. As shown in fig. 5 and fig. 6, when the opening directions of the metal opening ring and the outer ring are +45° relative to the x-axis, four modulation units are respectively selected in two states by changing the corresponding opening sizes, the phase gradient is 45 °, the phase shift change of the cross polarization wave covers 180 °, and the working frequency bands cover the terahertz key frequency point of 0.34THz. At a frequency point of 0.34THzThe average amplitude of the dielectric state is about 0.75 and the average amplitude of the metal state is about 0.5.
Meanwhile, according to the geometric phase modulation principle, the C-shaped structure inclined at 45 degrees rotates by 90 degrees under the same opening size, namely, when the C-shaped structure is 45 degrees relative to the x-axis, the phase change can be increased by 180 degrees, and the amplitude is kept unchanged, so that the structure can realize independent 360-degree phase full coverage under two states, different functional designs can be carried out, and VO can be changed through external stimulation 2 The dynamic function switching is realized in the working state of (a). In addition, the modulation unit of the present invention is symmetrical about the x=y plane, so that not only the x-polarized (or y-polarized) terahertz wave is modulated, but also the circularly polarized terahertz wave is effective; further, the combination of the invention with convolution theory can further enrich the functional design thereof.
In conclusion, the dynamic multifunctional terahertz reflection array based on vanadium dioxide is a multifunctional terahertz wave band dynamic device with great development potential and practicality.
It will be evident to those skilled in the art that the invention is not limited to the details of the foregoing illustrative embodiments, and that the present invention may be embodied in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics thereof.
