Functional THz emitters based on Pancharatnam-Berry phase nonlinear metasurfaces
Open accessAbstract
Recent advances in the science and technology of THz waves show promise for a wide variety of important applications in material inspection, imaging, and biomedical science amongst others. However, this promise is impeded by the lack of sufficiently functional THz emitters. Here, we introduce broadband THz emitters based on Pancharatnam-Berry phase nonlinear metasurfaces, which exhibit unique optical functionalities. Using these new emitters, we experimentally demonstrate tunable linear polarization of broadband single cycle THz pulses, the splitting of spin states and THz frequencies in the spatial domain, and the generation of few-cycle pulses with temporal polarization dispersion. Finally, we apply the ability of spin control of THz waves to demonstrate circular dichroism spectroscopy of amino acids. Altogether, we achieve nanoscale and all-optical control over the phase and polarization states of the emitted THz waves.

Rotating the incident light polarization by 90° leads to rotation of the THz polarization with respect to the incident light polarization; equivalently, rotating the resonator structure by 90° rotates the THz polarization by 90°.
“Rotating the incident light polarization by leads to rotation of the THz polarization with respect to the incident light polarization207 (Fig. 9d). Equivalently, rotating the resonator structure by results in the rotation of the THz polarization by .”

Recent experimental work demonstrated that a linear spatial profile of the Pancharatnam-Berry phase, by successively rotating the orientation of split-ring and three-petal resonators, enabled spatial separation of left- and right-handed circular polarization components over the entire frequency range of the generated THz radiation.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
