Article Abstract
The advancement of terahertz (THz) technology hinges on the progress made in the development of efficient sources capable of generating and shaping the THz emission. However, the currently available THz sources provide limited control over the generated field. Here, we use near-field interactions in nonlinear Pancharatnam-Berry phase plasmonic metasurfaces to achieve deep subwavelength, precise, and continuous control over the local amplitude of the emitted field. We show that this new ability can be used for holographic THz beam generation. Specifically, we demonstrate the generation of precisely shaped Hermite-Gauss, Top-Hat, and triangular beams. We show that using this method, higher-order modes are completely suppressed, indicating optimal nonlinear diffraction efficiency. In addition, we demonstrate the application of the generated structured beams for obtaining enhanced imaging resolution and contrast. These demonstrations hold immense potential to address challenges associated with a broad range of new applications employing THz technology.

Electrically dynamic terahertz phase modulator with high transmittance based on a Huygens' metasurface.

February 2025
The phase shifts of dynamic terahertz (THz) phase modulators based on transmissive metasurfaces are usually limited to within 180, which is a necessary amount to perform efficient terahertz wavefront modulation. Few works exhibit a phase shift larger than 200 but with a transmittance less than 3 during modulation. To address this challenge, a dynamic terahertz phase modulator using a dislocation-introduced dual-layer Huygens' metasurface (HM) with embedded vanadium dioxide (VO) is proposed.

Some of its features make the proposed aerial design unique, and these features are: (a) creation of 11 mode inside the ceramic and its placement on either side of the substrate provides quasi-isotropic radiation features; (b) array-based design provides higher gain, i.e.

Driven by the need for miniaturization and integration, incorporating multiple functions into a single metasurface based on hybridized tunable materials is particularly demanding in the terahertz (THz) range. However, existing hybrid material metasurfaces either need to change their sizes or cannot fully explore their design potential, particularly failing to integrate both near-field and far-field functions into a single metasurface, which restricts the development and application of terahertz metasurface devices. In this paper, combing with graphene and vanadium dioxide (VO), a multifunctional terahertz metasurface is designed with only a single-sized nanostructure, which can achieve five-functional switchable and integration.

The goal is to reconstruct three-dimensional (3D) scenes from images obtained with detectors that recorded only the power of the radiation and not the phase. This study proposes a novel approach utilizing a physics-informed deep learning (DL) algorithm to reconstruct objects which partially obscure each other.

The rapid advancement of terahertz (THz) communication systems has positioned this technology as a key enabler for next-generation telecommunication networks, including 6G, secure communications, and hybrid wireless-optical systems. This review comprehensively analyzes THz communication, emphasizing its integration with free-space optical (FSO) systems to overcome conventional bandwidth limitations. While THz-FSO technology promises ultra-high data rates, it is significantly affected by atmospheric absorption, particularly absorption beyond 500 GHz, where the attenuation exceeds 100 dB/km, which severely limits its transmission range.
