Design of terahertz focusing lens based on high-resistivity silicon metasurface

In this paper, a focusing lens for terahertz detection is designed using a metasurface composed of sub-wavelength silicon cylinders. By tuning the diameter of the silicon cylinder, the transmission phase of the THz wave is controlled from 0 to 2π. At 1 THz, the terahertz electric field energy density focused by the single-sided metasurface lens designed can be increased to 32 times that of the incident wave. After adding the anti-reflection, a double-sided metasurface lens is proposed, which is feasible in processing, increasing the electric field energy density to 44 times that of the original. Compared with the traditional hyper-hemispheric terahertz silicon lenses, our metasurface lens has the advantages of thin thickness and small volume, which is conducive to the miniaturization of the terahertz detector component and provides the possibility to realize the integration with the terahertz detector.
