ABSTRACT
This paper presents the design and numerical investigation of a graphene-based switchable terahertz (THz) metasurface for ultrawideband absorption and multiband cross polarization conversion. The device's operational mode can be altered to absorption or reflection by using the electrostatic capabilities exhibited by graphene. The numerical calculations yield results indicating that in absorption mode, it maintains a bandwidth ratio of 152% within the frequency range of 1.04-7.74 THz. In polarization conversion mode, the design demonstrates the ability to convert linearly polarized and circularly polarized waves to their respective cross-polarization states within the frequency ranges of 1.8-2.5 THz, 3.5-4.1 THz, and 5.6 THz. Moreover, calculated results indicate that linear-to-circular conversion can be realized at 2.64, 3.45, and 5.4 THz frequencies. In addition, the absorption and polarization conversion ratio parameters were analyzed using the multiple reflection theory, which demonstrated significant agreement with the simulation results. The designed metasurface exhibits significant potential in the field of terahertz devices, including stealth technology, smart switches, and other related applications.
