Ultra-efficiency broadband terahertz polarization converter based on a cross-shaped metamaterial

In this study, we describe the design, fabrication, and characterization of a cross-shaped structure reflective broadband THz polarization converter. The operating bandwidth of the proposed polarization converter was in the range of 0.8–1.6 THz. The polarization conversion rate (PCR) exceeded 85% in the frequency range of 1.07–1.35 THz and was as high as 91% at 1.35 THz. The cross PCR value exceeded 85% in the frequency range of 1.05–1.35 THz and reached a maximum value of 91%. The performance characteristics (bandwidth and PCR) of the proposed polarization converter were compared with those of similar previously reported devices, and the results indicated that the proposed polarization converter exhibits better performance. The proposed THz polarization converter is suitable for a wide range of applications in communication and polarization manipulation devices.
