Scientists and laymen alike have always been fascinated by the ability of lenses and mirrors to control light.
Now, with the advent of metamaterials and their two-dimensional counterpart metasurfaces, such
components can be miniaturized and designed with additional functionalities, holding promise for system
integration. To demonstrate this potential, here ultrathin reflection metasurfaces (also called metamirrors)
designed for focusing terahertz radiation into a single spot and four spaced spots are proposed and
experimentally investigated at the frequency of 0.35 THz. Each metasurface is designed using a
computer-generated spatial distribution of the reflection phase. The phase variation within 360 deg is
achieved via a topological morphing of the metasurface pattern from metallic patches to U-shaped and
split-ring resonator elements, whose spectral response is derived from full-wave electromagnetic
simulations. The proposed approach demonstrates a high-performance solution for creating low-cost and
lightweight beam-shaping and beam-focusing devices for the terahertz band. [--]
