Abstract
A THz twist polarizer formed by supramolecular Fermat’s spiral chiral metamate-
rial (SFSCMM) is reported. Twist polarizers (TPs) are the 90◦ polarization rotators, in which
transverse magnetic linear polarization is converted into transverse electric linear polarization
and vice versa. The proposed SFSCMM consists of twisted bilayered supramolecular Fermat’s
spiral patterns, in which each layer is chiral in nature. The design is implemented in polyimide
substrate using silver as a metal. Full-wave simulations demonstrated its function of TP, where
the SFSCMM shows the zero-point ellipticity with the polarization rotation angle of 89.49◦ at
7.765 THz. The proposed SFSCMM has a dimension of λ/1.38 × λ/1.38 × λ/10.3 at the operating
wavelength and can be fabricated through standard layer-by-layer method for the realization of
optical logic gates and THz switches.
