Terahertz polarization conversion with quartz waveplate sets.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present the results of calculation and experimental testing of an achromatic polarization converter and a composite terahertz waveplate (WP), which are represented by sets of plane-parallel birefringent plates with in-plane birefringence axis. The calculations took into account the effect of interference, which was especially prominent when plates were separated by an air gap. The possibility of development of a spectrum analyzer design based on a set of WPs is also discussed.

Tunable wavelength terahertz polarization converter based on quartz waveplates.
We present the results of calculation and experimental testing of the tunable wavelength terahertz polarization converter represented by a set of plane-parallel birefringent plates with an in-plane birefringence axis. An experimental device has been produced and tested. The calculations show that the effect of interference between the interfaces, including air gaps, may be neglected. The consid...
متن کاملUltrathin Terahertz Quarter-wave plate based on Split Ring Resonator and Wire Grating hybrid Metasurface
Planar metasurface based quarter-wave plates offer various advantages over conventional waveplates in terms of compactness, flexibility and simple fabrication; however they offer very narrow bandwidth of operation. Here, we demonstrate a planar terahertz (THz) metasurface capable of linear to circular polarization conversion and vice versa in a wide frequency range. The proposed metasurface is ...
متن کاملHighly flexible broadband terahertz metamaterial quarterwave plate
P A P ER Abstract Metamaterials offer exciting opportunities that enable precise control of light propagation, its intensity and phase by designing an artificial medium of choice. Inducing birefringence via engineered metamolecules presents a fascinating mechanism to manipulate the phase of electromagnetic waves and facilitates the design of polarimetric devices. In this paper, a high-efficienc...
متن کاملAn ion-implanted InP receiver for polarization resolved terahertz spectroscopy.
We report on the construction, optical alignment and performance of a receiver which is capable of recording the full polarization state of coherent terahertz radiation. The photoconductive detector was fabricated on InP which had been implanted with Fe(+) ions. The device operated successfully when it was gated with near infrared femtosecond pulses from either a Ti:sapphire laser oscillator or...
متن کاملActive tunable plasmonically induced polarization conversion in the THz regime
A plasmon-induced polarization conversion (PIPC) structure based on periodically patterned graphene was demonstrated in the THz regime. By varying the Fermi level of two connected T-shape graphene strips through the electrostatic gating, the peak frequency and the group index in the transparency window can be tuned, which is good agreement with the coupled Lorentz oscillator model. Due to inter...
