Polarization variable terahertz metasurface along the propagation path by Jitao Li, Jingyu Liu, Zhen Yue, Jie Li, Chenglong Zheng, Fan Yang, Hui Li, Yating Zhang, Yan Zhang, Jianquan Yao

“…The Δφ varies as the propagation distance, resulting in a rotated linearly polarized output wave along the propagation path, while the rotation angle ranges from 0 to π. Based on the variable property of longitudinal polarization, we propose an application concept of dielectric refractive index sensing, in which an additional medium is placed in the terahertz propagation path and the unknown refractive index is determined by detecting the rotation angle of the output polarization state. …”
