Photoreconfigurable Metasurface for Independent Full-Space Control of Terahertz Waves by Zhengxuan Jiang, Guowen Ding, Xinyao Luo, Shenyun Wang

“…The proposed metasurface features a three-layer architecture: a top layer incorporating a gold circular split ring resonator (CSRR) filled with perovskite material and dual <i>C</i>-shaped perovskite resonators; a middle layer of polyimide dielectric; and a bottom layer comprising a perovskite substrate with an oppositely oriented circular split ring resonator filled with gold. By modulating the intensity of a laser beam, we achieve autonomous manipulation of incident circularly polarized terahertz waves in both transmission and reflection modes. …”
