Abstract
We propose versatile integrated polarizers based on geometric metasurfaces. Metasurface polarizer consists of L-shaped hole array etched on a silver film and it can generate simultaneously several polarization states including the linear polarization, circular polarization, elliptical polarization, or even hybrid polarization. Meanwhile, the combination of output polarization states changes with the illumination polarization type. The theoretical analysis provides the detail explanation for the generation of the integrated polarization states. The well-designed metasurface polarizers may generate more complex polarization modes including vector beams and vector vortex beams. The theoretical and simulated results confirm the polarization performance of the proposed integrated metasurface polarizers. The compact design of metasurface polarizers and the controllable generation of versatile polarization combinations are benefit to the applications of polarization light in optical imaging, biomedical sensing and material processing.
