ABSTRACT
Pancharatnam-Berry (PB) phase, usually utilized for phase manipulation of circularly polarized (CP) waves, has inherent symmetrical response on left-handed polarized (LCP) and right-handed polarized (RCP) for orbital angular momentum (OAM), which severely hinders its application. By modulating both propagation and PB phase allows independent control of LCP and RCP of OAM, but increases the design difficulty. Here, we propose a phase compensation scheme to independent control the CP states of OAM only utilizing PB phase, where arbitrary topological charges and deflection directions of LCP and RCP beams can be realized. Two wideband metasurfaces are designed to independent control the mode, circular polarization and beam directions of OAM at the frequency range of 10-20â
GHz. This work significantly motivates the development of polarization division multiplexing in wireless communication system.
