Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein like or similar reference numerals refer to like or similar elements or elements having like or similar functions throughout.

The VO 2-based multi-functional super-surface device with the terahertz frequency switchable in the same wave band is shown in a figure 1, and comprises a square dielectric layer, wherein the bottom surface and the top surface of the dielectric layer are square, a metal layer is fixedly arranged on the bottom surface of the dielectric layer, an open square ring is fixedly arranged at the edge of the top surface of the dielectric layer, the side edges of the open square ring are respectively arranged in parallel with the side edges of the top surface of the dielectric layer, a cross-shaped structural layer is fixedly arranged in the middle of the top surface of the dielectric layer, the central lines of two straight-line structures of the cross-shaped structural layer are respectively overlapped with the diagonal lines of the open square ring, the open square ring is provided with two openings, the two openings are respectively arranged on the two side edges adjacent to the open square ring, the width of the end of the straight-line structure is the same as the length of the opening, the cross-shaped structural layer and the open square ring are made of vanadium dioxide, and the conductivity of the cross-shaped structural layer and the open square ring is adjusted by controlling the temperature; the terahertz wave is incident along the direction perpendicular to the top surface of the dielectric layer, the conductivity of the cross-shaped structural layer and the open square ring is sigma=20S/m when the cross-shaped structural layer and the open square ring are in an insulating state, and the terahertz wave is used for converting the incident linear polarization terahertz wave into circular polarization terahertz wave within the range of 0.3-1.4 THz; conductivity of both the cross-shaped structural layer and the open square ring when in the metallic state is σ=2×10 5 S/m, is used for absorbing terahertz waves in the frequency range of 0.45-1.15 THz.
As shown in fig. 2, the dielectric layer is made of silicon dioxide, the side length p=85 um of the top surface of the dielectric layer, the outer side length l1=76 um of the square ring, the inner side length l2=74 um of the square ring, the length l4=64 um of the straight line structure, the width w=20 um of the end of the straight line structure, the thickness h1=45 um of the dielectric layer, and the cross structureThe thicknesses of the layer, the open square ring and the metal layer are t=0.5 um, the metal layer is made of gold, and the conductivity of the metal layer is sigma (Au) =4.09×10 7 S/m。
The conductivity of the vanadium dioxide material is regulated by controlling the temperature. Vanadium dioxide is a thermally controlled phase change material, whose conductivity is subject to a large abrupt change during the phase change process. Vanadium dioxide behaves as an insulator below the critical temperature (68 ℃) and as a metal above the critical temperature. Therefore, vanadium dioxide can be heated by utilizing the characteristic, and the incident electromagnetic wave can be regulated and controlled.
The multi-physical field coupling simulation software COMSOL Multiphysics based on the Finite Element Method (FEM) is used for modeling, optimizing and simulating the designed multi-functional super-surface device based on the VO2 and switchable in the terahertz frequency of the same wave band. In the terahertz frequency band under study, the transmission part is restrained due to the existence of the metal layer and the thickness of the metal layer is far greater than the skin depth of electromagnetic waves in two states of vanadium dioxide, so that the transmittance T (omega) of the whole metamaterial structure is infinitely close to 0. According to the equivalent medium theory, the impedance value of the incident position of the surface of the invention is completely matched with the free space by carrying out parameter adjustment and optimization on the structure.
The conductivity of the vanadium dioxide material is set to be 20S/m and 200000S/m so as to simulate the conditions of an insulating state and a metal state of the vanadium dioxide under different temperature conditions. The calculation formulas of the polarization conversion efficiency and the absorption efficiency A (w) are as follows:
A(w)=1-R(w)-T(w) (3)
wherein PCR x And PCR y Polarization conversion rates in an incident transverse electric TE mode and a transverse magnetic TM mode respectively, rxx represents the transverse magnetic TE modeThe co-polarized reflectance under the formula (electric field along x-direction), ryx, represents the cross-polarized reflectance in TE mode. Ryy represents the co-polarized reflectance in transverse electric (TM) mode (electric field along y direction), rxy represents the cross-polarized reflectance in TM mode; reflectivity R (ω) = |s 11 | 2 Transmittance T (ω) = |s 21 | 2 . FIG. three is a diagram showing a simulation, according to Rxx, ryx, ryy, rxy of FIG. three, PCR can be obtained according to the formulas (1) (2) x And PCR y
As shown in fig. 3 to 6, when vanadium dioxide is in an insulating state, the dimensions L4 and W of the cross-shaped structural layer have a large influence on polarization characteristics. As the dimension L4 of the central metal spider increases, the occurrence of a red shift in frequency at high frequencies narrows the operating bandwidth. When the short side W of the center cross increases, the conversion efficiency decreases although the frequency does not shift. When the dimensions l4=64 um and w=20um of the cross-shaped structural layer, the co-polarization reflection coefficient is relatively low and the cross-polarization reflection coefficient is high in the frequency range of 0.45-1.23 THz, so that cross-polarization conversion can be realized. The conversion from linear polarization to circular polarization can be realized in the frequency range of 1.42-0.45 terahertz and 1.23-1.28 terahertz. As shown in fig. 7 and 8, the long side L4 of the cross-shaped structural layer varies from 60um to 68um, and when l4=60 um, the frequency is 1.26THz; when l4=60 um, the frequency is at 1.2THz; the short side W of the center cross is in the range of 16 um-24 um, and the frequency is relatively stable.
When vanadium dioxide is in a metal state, the influence of the unit structure period P on the absorption characteristic is large, and when the impedance of the absorber is matched with the impedance of the free space through adjustment of the P, terahertz waves with the frequency of 0.45-1.23 THz enter the inner wall of the absorber to the maximum extent, and resonance is generated with the terahertz wave absorber, so that the absorption loss of the terahertz wave absorber is maximum; when P is increased, the absorption peak frequency is blue shifted, and the absorption intensity is basically unchanged; when p=85 um, the absorptance is greater than 80% in the frequency range of 0.45 to 1.23THz, and the absorptances at 0.53THz and 1.02THz are 0.99913 and 0.97543.
As shown in FIG. 9, in the range of 0-90 degrees of polarization angle, the change of the polarization angle has little change on the resonance frequency and the absorption rate, and the absorption spectrum has no change, so that the invention has good polarization insensitivity.
As shown in fig. 10 and 11, when vanadium dioxide is in a metallic state, the sensing function can be analyzed by the resonant frequency shift of the present invention and its linear fit as the refractive index of the solution concentration to be measured is changed. In the frequency range of 0.45-1.15 THz, common aqueous solutions (sodium chloride, glucose, sucrose, etc.) with refractive indices (n) between 1.33 and 1.48 are subjected to sensing analysis, and the sensing sensitivity at the frequency point of 0.53THz is about 132.38GHz/RIU. Compared with the traditional biological sensing technology, the invention can realize high-efficiency and high-sensitivity label-free nondestructive detection, effectively overcomes the defects of the biological sensing technology, and has wide development prospect in the field of sensing.
The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, principal features and advantages of the invention. It will be understood by those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, and that the above embodiments and descriptions are merely illustrative of the principles of the present invention, and various changes and modifications may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention, which is defined in the appended claims. The scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims and equivalents thereof.
