Abstract
1. INTRODUCTION
Metasurfaces, which are the two-dimensional counterpart of metamaterials, have unprecedented capability to accurately control the amplitude, phase, and polarization of electromagnetic (EM) waves at subwavelength resolution [1,2]. Unlike conventional wavefront modulations based on the gradual phase accumulation along the propagation direction, the manipulation of wavefront based on metasurfaces is related to abrupt phase changes at planar antenna interfaces, opening a new window to design ultracompact (or ultrathin) devices that can outperform traditional bulky devices. Metasurfaces are divided into two categories: one is the resonant metasurfaces related to resonant phase (e.g., antenna resonance), while the other is the geometric metasurfaces associated with Pancharatnam–Berry phase (or geometric phase). Geometric metasurfaces consisting of anisotropic antennas with identical shapes and different in-plane orientations are usually applied to design flat components to manipulate the spin EM waves, e.g., left-/right-handed circularly polarized (LCP or RCP) EM waves. Benefiting from the local control of the wavefronts of spin EM waves, geometric metasurfaces enable a plethora of applications including generalized Snell’s law [3–5], metalenses [6–14], holograms [15–24], the spin Hall effect [25–28], polarization convertors [29–32], vortex beams [33–37], and nonlinear photonics [38–40].
The control of the wavefronts (e.g., amplitudes, phases, and polarizations) of spin EM waves is very important in optical communications [41,42]. With the increase of communication capacity, the independent manipulation of multiple spin beams with controllable energy allocation enables practical applications in multiple-target detection radar system and multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) communications [43,44]. Additionally, miniaturization and integration are inevitable trends in the development of modern communication systems, and thus geometric metasurfaces provide a flexible platform to design the corresponding ultracompact devices/systems (for manipulating spin EM waves). Recently, great progress has been made on the independent manipulation of each spin state and energy distribution of spin EM waves [45–49]. For example, Liu
2. DESIGN AND METHOD
A terahertz (THz) spin-decoupled metalens is schematically shown in Fig. 1. This metalens consists of a variety of microrods with identical shape but different orientations sitting on a silicon substrate, and thus the manipulation of incident THz waves is dependent on pure geometric phase. For the incidence of LCP THz waves, such a metalens can generate two RCP focal points with the same focal distance (or different focal distance) that are transversely distributed (or longitudinally distributed) in the propagation direction (see Fig. 1). In contrast, there are two LCP focal points [that are transversely distributed (or longitudinally distributed) in the propagation direction] that can be observed under the illumination of RCP THz waves. In fact, our designed geometric metalens enables spin-decoupling functionality that can focus both LCP and RCP THz waves into helicity-dependent multiple focal points. It should be noted that all of the multiple RCP and LCP focal points are locked to the polarization state of incident THz waves. Therefore, the intensity of the helicity-dependent multiple focal points can be arbitrarily allocated by controlling the ellipticity of incident THz waves (see Fig. 1). For a geometric metalens that can focus LCP EM waves into a focal point, the required phase modulation can be governed by

Figure 1.Schematic of the spin-decoupled metalens with intensity-tunable multiple focal points. Under the illumination of LCP THz waves, two RCP focal points are generated, while two LCP focal points can be observed for the incident RCP THz waves. The intensity between two RCP focal points and two LCP focal points can be arbitrarily modulated with different weights of LCP and RCP incident THz waves.
If a geometric metalens can focus the LCP incident EM waves into multiple focal points, the required geometric phase can be written as
In contrast, when a geometric metalens is applied to focus the RCP EM waves into multiple focal points, the phase profile for such a metalens can be expressed as
In fact, if a geometric metalens can simultaneously modulate LCP and RCP EM waves to generate both RCP and LCP multiple focal points, the total phase profile is given as follows:
It should be noted that the total phase requirements in Eq. (4) contain two independent phase profiles: one is the phase profile that can focus the LCP component into multiple RCP focal points, while the other is the phase profile that can focus the RCP component into multiple LCP focal points. Therefore, a spin-decoupled metalens with the aforementioned function [see Eq. (4)] is realized by embedding the functionalities of multiple convex lenses and concave lenses into a single metasurface, i.e., the LCP (RCP) EM waves will “see” convex lenses and concave lenses ( convex lenses and concave lenses) under the modulation of phase profile in Eq. (4).
Figure 2(a) shows a schematic of the spin-decoupled metalens consisting of a variety of anisotropic silicon microrods with predesigned in-plane orientations. The unit cell is shown in Fig. 2(b), and the structure parameters are optimized as , , , and (period). The thickness of silicon-based substrate is . As depicted in Fig. 2(c), a unit cell with the long axis along the axis is interacting with transverse-electric (TE) and transverse-magnetic (TM) THz waves, and the corresponding transmission spectra show strong oscillations. Therefore, the anisotropic microrod with substrate can be considered a hybrid Fabry–Perot resonator (like in Ref. [8]). The transmissivities of both the TE and TM THz waves at are the same (), while the phase retardation between the TE and TM transmitted waves is 175° () [see Fig. 2(d)]. As a consequence, the designed microrod can be considered as a quasi-perfect half-wave plate (at ), and thus the incident circularly-polarized (CP) EM waves (interacting with the microrod) will be converted into CP EM waves with orthogonal polarization and an additional phase delay of ( is the rotating angle between the axis and the long side of the microrod; “+” and “−” represent the sign of the phase shift for the incident RCP and LCP light, respectively). Figures 2(e) and 2(f) show the two fabricated samples to generate four transversely [see Fig. 2(e)] and longitudinally [see Fig. 2(f)] distributed helicity-dependent focal points, respectively. In order to experimentally demonstrate the properties of the designed metalenses, near-field scanning THz microscopy (NSTM) is used to detect the corresponding electric-field distributions.

3. RESULTS
As a feasibility study, we first discuss the spin-decoupled metalens that can generate helicity-dependent multiple focal points with the same focal distance. Numerical simulations and experimental demonstrations of such a metalens are shown in Fig. 3. To verify our proposed approach, a metalens consisting of microrods (with different in-plane orientations) is designed to generate the required phase profile. The work frequency is 0.6 THz. The focusing parameters of these helicity-dependent multiple focal points are predesigned as follows: , , , , and . In theory, such a spin-decoupled metalens can generate two RCP (LCP) focal points located at (1.5, 1.5, 4.0 mm) and (1.5, , 4.0 mm) [(, 1.5, 4.0 mm) and (, , 4.0 mm)], under the illumination of LCP (RCP) THz waves. Figure 3(a1) shows the simulated electric-field intensity () distribution of our designed metalens upon the incidence of LCP THz waves (with ellipticity ). There are two RCP focal points that can be observed after the metalens. One focal point is nearly located at (1.5, 1.5, 3.75 mm), while the other one is nearly at (1.5, , 3.75 mm). Here, the discrepancy in focal distance between the theoretical design and numerical simulation can be attributed to the nonperfect half-wave plate of each microrod. The experimental measurement is shown in Fig. 3(a2). Under the illumination of LCP THz waves, the fabricated metalens [see Fig. 2(e)] can also modulate the incident THz waves into two focal points, and they are located at (1.5, 1.5, 3.75 mm) and (1.5, , 3.75 mm), respectively. In comparison with Figs. 3(a1) and 3(a2), the experimental measurement is well matched with the numerical simulation, except for a slight deviation (i.e., different sizes between numerical and measured focal points) that can be ascribed to fabrication errors and testing errors. Figures 3(a3) and 3(a4) show the calculated and measured electric-field intensity along , and one peak with normalized intensity of is observed nearly at . When the incident THz beam is switched into a left-handed elliptically polarized (LECP) THz beam (with ellipticity ), the spin-decoupled metalens can generate two more focal points as shown in Figs. 3(b1) and 3(b2). In addition to the original two RCP focal points nearly located at (1.5, 1.5, 3.75 mm) and (1.5, , 3.75 mm), there are another two LCP focal points generated nearby at (, 1.5, 4 mm) and (, , 4 mm), respectively. The normalized electric-field intensities of the upper left and right focal points are 0.42 and 0.58, respectively [see Figs. 3(b3) and 3(b4)]. For the incidence of linearly polarized (LP) THz waves (with ellipticity ), there are still four focal points that can be observed [see Figs. 3(c1) and 3(c2)], but the electric-field intensity ratio between the left and right two focal points is 0.5:0.5 [see Figs. 3(c3) and 3(c4)]. The electric-field intensity ratio between the left and right two focal points is flipped to 0.58:0.42, when the right-handed elliptically polarized (RECP) THz waves with ellipticity interact with the metalens [see Figs. 3(d1)–3(d4)]. In addition, under the illumination of RCP THz waves (with ellipticity ), the two focal points in the right side disappear, while the left two focal points with normalized intensity of can be observed as shown in Figs. 3(e1)–3(e4). The simulated focusing efficiency of the designed spin-decoupled metalens is 32.8%, while the measured focusing efficiency is 24.5%. The low focusing efficiency of the fabricated metalens can be attributed to the intrinsic limitation (the approach of pure geometric phase to design the spin-decoupled metalens), and fabrication errors, i.e., collapse/loss of rods and unmatched size between the fabricated and designed rod. In order to further enhance the working efficiency, we need to improve the fabrication accuracy (to reduce the fabrication errors) and carefully select quality materials, e.g., , GaN, like in Refs. [9,50]. As a summary, the intensity ratio between two RCP and two LCP focal points can be flexibly controlled by changing the weights of the LCP and RCP THz waves, that is, the designed spin-decoupled metalens enabling intensity-tunable functionality. Under the illumination of THz waves with different polarization states, the calculated and measured electric-field intensity distributions along line () are shown in Appendix A, while the calculated and measured electric-field intensity distributions in the plane are supplied in Appendix B. The calculated electric-field intensities at focal plane with different ellipticity are given in Appendix C. The sizes of the focal points and focal lengths are supplied in Appendix D (see Tables 1 and 2).

The proposed approach cannot only modulate the incident THz waves into transversely distributed multiple focal points but also enables the capability to steer the THz waves to form longitudinally distributed multiple focal points with intensity-tunable functionality. Figure 4 shows the calculated and measured results. The structure parameters of such a metalens for focusing longitudinally distributed multiple focal points are as follows: , , , , and . Therefore, there are two longitudinally distributed RCP focal points that can be observed at (0, 1.0, 4.0 mm) and (0, 1.5, 6.0 mm), under the illumination of LCP THz waves, while two longitudinally distributed LCP focal points are generated at (0, , 4.0 mm) and (0, , 6.0 mm), under the illumination of RCP THz waves. Figure 4(a1) shows the calculated electric-field intensity distribution of the designed metalens for the incidence of LCP THz waves. Two RCP focal points are observed after the metalens, and one is located at (0, 1.0, 3.75 mm), while the other is distributed at (0, 1.5, 5.7 mm). In an experiment, these two RCP focal points can also be detected as shown in Fig. 4(a2). The calculated and measured electric-field distributions at line () are shown in Figs. 4(a3) and 4(a4), and only one peak with normalized transmission () at can be observed. In comparison with Figs. 4(a1) [or 4(a3)] and 4(a2) [or 4(a4)], the numerical simulations agreed well with the measurement results. When the incident LCP THz waves are switched into LECP THz waves with ellipticity of , two more LCP focal points are generated at (0, , 3.75 mm) and (0, , 5.7 mm), respectively [see Figs. 4(b1) and 4(b2)]. The electric-field distributions at line demonstrate that the normalized intensity ratio between RCP and LCP focal points is 0.58:0.42. In addition, for the incidence of LP (with ), RECP (with ), and RCP (with ) THz waves, the normalized intensity ratios between RCP and LCP focal points are 0.5:0.5, 0.42:0.58, and 0:1, respectively, demonstrating the intensity-tunable functionality of the designed metalens [see Figs. 3(c1)–3(e4)]. The simulated focusing efficiency of this spin-decoupled metalens is 32.5%, while the measured focusing efficiency is 21.8%. The sizes of the focal points and focal lengths are supplied in Appendix D (see Tables 3 and 4). The electric-field distributions at line () are shown in Appendix E, and the electric-field distributions at the plane ( and ) are given in Appendix F and Appendix G. The calculated electric-field intensities at the focal plane with different ellipticity are supplied in Appendix H.
4. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION
Geometric phase-based (or Pancharatnam–Berry phase-based) metasurfaces (named geometric metasurfaces) enable an unprecedented capability to control the phase, polarization, and amplitude of circularly polarized EM waves by arranging the orientation angle () of each anisotropic antenna. Geometric metasurfaces with predesigned phase profiles are robust against fabrication tolerance (antenna size and roughness) and material property variations. However, the inherent conjugated symmetry, i.e., equal and opposite phase distributions under the illumination of LCP and RCP EM waves, inevitably hinders geometric metasurfaces from implementing spin-decoupled/switchable functionalities. To overcome this limitation, the traditional approach is to combine the geometric phase and propagation phase (or dynamic phase) together to decouple the spin-locking between two helicity components. As demonstrated in Ref. [51], the independent manipulation of chiral holograms is realized based on both geometric phase and propagation phase. A THz spin-decoupled bifunctional metacoupler was proposed and numerically demonstrated for independently deflecting/manipulating LCP and RCP components, i.e., simultaneously generating anomalous reflection and converting the incident waves into SPPs (surface plasmon polaritons) [52]. Furthermore, the independent manipulation of two orthogonal spin components with applications in generating spin-coupled multiple focal points, orbital angular momentum (OAM) vortices, anomalous refraction, beam splitters, and holograms has been demonstrated [53–58]. In the same way, Zhang
In summary, we have proposed an approach to design a spin-decoupled metalens that can independently modulate two orthogonal spin states of spin THz waves based on pure geometric phase. As a multifocus metalens, the incident LCP (or RCP) THz waves could be focused into helicity-dependent multiple focal points. The transversely distributed (or longitudinally distributed) helicity-dependent multiple focal points were experimentally demonstrated, and the intensity ratios between the RCP and LCP multiple focal points were arbitrarily allocated by selecting different weights of LCP and RCP THz waves. The robust and flexible approach in manipulating spin EM waves may have potential applications in designing multifunctional devices and integrated communication systems.
