Abstract

We present an optically controlled terahertz (THz) switch to tune the state of polarization based on single-layer chiral metamaterial. The chiral metamaterial consists of an array of perforated S-shaped slits with incorporated photoactive silicon, which allows us to control dynamically cross-polarization transmission. The switch state can be efficiently controlled by external optical stimuli. The realization of cross-polarization THz switch in a single-layer metamaterial has simple structure design and easy fabrication and therefore the S-shaped metamaterial will be a promising candidate for polarization control devices.
