    摘要:

    光电导天线阵列作为太赫兹辐射的重要发射器件,其偏振特性对波束控制、成像分辨率和信号传输效率等具有重要影响,目前的研究大多集中在固定偏振状态的天线设计上,缺乏对偏振可调性能的深入研究,限制了其在实际应用中的灵活性和适用性。本文设计并研究了一种偏振可调的四元太赫兹砷化镓光电导天线阵列,通过控制阵元的激励方式,实现对线偏振和圆偏振太赫兹波的精确调控。结果表明:采用同相不等幅激励时,调节各阵元的激励幅值,可以实现线偏振太赫兹波在360°范围内的灵活调控;采用90°相差激励方式,可以实现圆偏振太赫兹波,-10 dB阻抗带宽:0.057 THz - 1.013 THz,相对带宽为178.69%,中心频率为0.535 THz。轴比带宽:0.815 THz - 0.947 THz,相对带宽为14.98%,中心频率为0.881 THz;传统的光电导天线阵列,由于各阵元激励幅值、相位及泵浦激光的影响,导致辐射的太赫兹波多为椭圆偏振光。

    Abstract:

    The photoconductive antenna array is a crucial emitter of terahertz radiation, with its polarization characteristics playing a significant role in beam control, imaging resolution, and signal transmission efficiency. However, current research predominantly focuses on antenna designs with fixed polarization states, lacking comprehensive studies on adjustable polarization performance. This limitation reduces their flexibility and applicability in practical applications. In this paper, we design and investigate a polarization-adjustable four-element terahertz gallium arsenide photoconductive antenna array. Our goal is to achieve precise control of linearly and circularly polarized terahertz waves by manipulating the excitation mode of the array elements. The results demonstrate that using in-phase unequal amplitude excitation allows for flexible control of linearly polarized terahertz waves within a 360° range by adjusting the excitation amplitude of each element. Under 90° phase-difference excitation, circularly polarized terahertz waves are achieved, with a -10 dB impedance bandwidth of 0.057 THz to 1.013 THz, a relative bandwidth of 178.69%, and a center frequency of 0.535 THz. The axial ratio bandwidth is 0.815 THz to 0.947 THz, with a relative bandwidth of 14.98% and a center frequency of 0.881 THz. In traditional photoconductive antenna arrays, the combination of the excitation amplitude, phase of each element, and the influence of the pump laser often results in the emitted terahertz waves being predominantly elliptically polarized. Our approach overcomes these limitations, providing a more versatile and efficient solution for terahertz wave emission and control.
