Polarization Multiplexing Terahertz Quasicrystal Meta-Platform

Multidimensional metasurfaces provide a promising platform for terahertz (THz) multifunctional devices used in communication, imaging, and sensing. However, many THz multifunctional devices still rely on metallic or periodic metasurfaces, which may suffer from ohmic loss, unwanted diffraction, channel crosstalk, and energy leakage. To address these limitations, we propose an all-dielectric THz metasurface based on a five-fold rotationally symmetric quasicrystalline aperiodic tiling and verify its performance through full-wave electromagnetic simulations. High-resistivity silicon rectangular pillars are used as anisotropic propagation-phase meta-atoms, enabling independent wavefront encoding for two orthogonal linear polarizations within a single aperture. By mapping the x- and y-polarized phase profiles onto the quasicrystalline lattice, the proposed device realizes polarization-multiplexed bifocal focusing with controllable focal positions. Simulation results show high focusing efficiency, low polarization crosstalk, broadband focusing performance, and robustness under oblique incidence. This work provides a compact all-dielectric route for multifunctional THz wavefront control based on polarization multiplexing and quasicrystalline metasurface design.

Abstract

Multidimensional metasurfaces provide a promising platform for terahertz (THz) multifunctional devices used in communication, imaging, and sensing. However, many THz multifunctional devices still rely on metallic or periodic metasurfaces, which may suffer from ohmic loss, unwanted diffraction, channel crosstalk, and energy leakage. To address these limitations, we propose an all-dielectric THz metasurface based on a five-fold rotationally symmetric quasicrystalline aperiodic tiling and verify its performance through full-wave electromagnetic simulations. High-resistivity silicon rectangular pillars are used as anisotropic propagation-phase meta-atoms, enabling independent wavefront encoding for two orthogonal linear polarizations within a single aperture. By mapping the x- and y-polarized phase profiles onto the quasicrystalline lattice, the proposed device realizes polarization-multiplexed bifocal focusing with controllable focal positions. Simulation results show high focusing efficiency, low polarization crosstalk, broadband focusing performance, and robustness under oblique incidence. This work provides a compact all-dielectric route for multifunctional THz wavefront control based on polarization multiplexing and quasicrystalline metasurface design.
