Abstract

Phase-engineered metasurfaces are widely used for wavefront reconstruction, as they can introduce a specific spatial phase distribution function. However, the most commonly used phase modulation method, geometric phase, can only regulate circular polarized electromagnetic waves and cannot effectively manipulate linear polarized waves. The other widely used phase scheme, propagation phase, cannot work directly in the cross linearly polarized channels, limiting the application scenarios of the metasurface to some extent. In this paper, a unit cell is designed with three stacked split resonant rings in the X-band, whose chiral configuration originates from the twisting angles between adjacent layers. Based on these units, a metasurface is constructed to generate a vortex beam with mode 1 in the cross-polarized component under linearly polarized incident waves. Meanwhile, the co-polarized components are suppressed to achieve high efficiency and high purity vortex wavefront regulation.
