ABSTRACT
A single metasurface-based device possessing multiple functionalities is highly desirable for terahertz technology system. In this paper, we design a reflective metasurface to generate switchable vortex beams carrying orbital angular momentum (OAM), focusing beams, focusing beams with arbitrary positions, and vortex beams with arbitrary topological charges in the terahertz region. By combining the spin decoupling principle and the phase addition theorem, the superposition states of OAM and focusing beams with arbitrary positions can be independent manipulated under right-handed and left-handed circularly polarized (LCP/RCP) waves illumination. Such a diversified functionalities device provides a promising application in the field of terahertz communication and terahertz super-resolution imaging.
