摘要
Reconfigurable metasurfaces are emerging as the core of next-generation optical devices with their tunable optical responses and flat-compact topography. Liquid crystal elastomer (LCE) provides a very attractive platform for active metasurfaces due to its excellent optical/ thermal-induced mechanical deformation properties. Here, the LCE-based terahertz metasurface is presented to control the phase and amplitude of the transmitted cross-polarization component according to the generalized Snell's law. The results pave the way for the development of reconfigurable metasurfaces based on mechanical deformation.
