Terahertz lenses based on nonuniform metasurfaces

Nonuniform metasurfaces with varying dielectric thicknesses are introduced to full control the transmitted wavefront. Two-port network model is used to analyze the phase shifts of the transmitted field going through dielectric elements. Then, two terahertz convex lenses are designed by using nonuniform polyimide metasurfaces to realize the required abrupt phase distributions. Full-wave simulations demonstrate their excellent performances in controlling the transmitted waves.
