Abstrakt: Conventional imaging techniques can only record the intensity of light while polarization imaging can record the polarization of light, thus obtaining a higher dimension of image information. We use the COMSOL software to numerically propose a circular polarization photodetector composed of the dislocated 2-hole Si chiral metasurfaces controlling the circular polarization lights and the HgCdTe (MCT) photodetector chip to detect the intensity of light signals. The chiral metasurfaces can be equated to a significant radiation source of the Z-type current density under the right circularly polarized incidence conditions, which explains the large circular dichroism (CD) of absorption of 95% in chiral photodetectors. In addition, the linear dichroism (LD) of the linear polarization pixel is 0.62, and the extinction ratio (ER) is 21 dB. The full Stokes pixel using the six-image-element technique can almost measure arbitrary polarization information of light at 4 μm operation wavelength. Our results highlight the potential of circular dichroic metasurfaces as photonic manipulation platforms for miniaturized polarization detectors. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
