Abstract
We demonstrate a reflective terahertz (THz) polarization conversion metasurface based on a double-ring aluminum resonator on a quartz substrate. Full-wave simulations are used to optimize the unit-cell geometry and investigate the polarization conversion mechanism through phase analysis, polarization ellipses, and surface-current distributions. The proposed metasurface exhibits a near-unity polarization conversion ratio (PCR) at resonance frequencies of 0.333 THz and 0.361 THz. Reflection-mode terahertz time-domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS) measurements show good agreement with the simulated results. The measured PCR exceeds 87% at both resonance frequencies, demonstrating efficient reflection-mode polarization conversion.
