Abstract
A depolarizer, a kind of optical element that converts polarized light to unpolarized light, has been found massive applications in classical optics. However, depolarizers based on metasurface which can be applied in integrated optics have rarely been proposed. In this paper, an electronically controlled metasurface depolarizer is demonstrated based on the time-domain integral average method and nano-material barium titanate. It obtains emergent light with a degree of polarization reduced to 2.5% when hit by linearly polarized light at 633 nm, and has a transmission efficiency greater than 72%. This depolarizing metasurface can be designed on-demand, immunizing the degree of the emergent light from its size, and has the simple electronic control with high-speed response.
