摘 要:Terahertz(THz)technologies have become a focus of research in recent years due to their prominent role in envisioned future communication and sensing *** of the key challenges facing the field is the need for tools to enable agile engineering of THz wave ***,we describe a reconfigurable metasurface based on GaN technology with an array-of-subarrays *** subwavelength-spaced array,under the control of a 1-bit digital coding sequence,can switch between an enormous range of possible configurations,providing facile access to nearly arbitrary wave front control for signals near 0.34 *** demonstrate wide-angle beam scanning with 1°of angular precision over 70 GHz of bandwidth,as well as the generation of multi-beam and diffuse wave fronts,with a switching speed up to 100 *** device,offering the ability to rapidly reconfigure a propagating wave front for beam-forming or diffusively scattered wide-angle coverage of a scene,will open new realms of possibilities in sensing,imaging,and networking.
