摘要

Abstract

Dynamic manipulation of electromagnetic (EM) waves with multiple degrees of freedom plays an essential role in enhancing information processing. Currently

an enormous challenge is to realize directional terahertz (THz) holography. Recently

it was demonstrated that Janus metasurfaces could produce distinct responses to EM waves from two opposite incident directions

making multiplexed dynamic manipulation of THz waves possible. Herein

we show that thermally activated THz Janus metasurfaces integrating with phase change materials on the meta-atoms can produce asymmetric transmission with the designed phase delays. Such reconfigurable Janus metasurfaces can achieve asymmetric focusing of THz wave and directional THz holography with free-space image projections

and particularly the information can be manipulated via temperature and incident THz wave direction. This work not only offers a common strategy for realizing the reconfigurability of Janus metasurfaces

but also shows possible applications in THz optical information encryption

data storage

and smart windows.
