Abstract Terahertz polarization conversion devices have significant potential applications in various fields such as terahertz imaging and spectroscopy. In this paper, we utilize genetic algorithms to topologically optimize the metasurface unit cells and design a reflective linear polarization conversion metasurface with ultra-broadband and wide-angle characteristics. By partitioning the metallic pattern layer into quadrants, the encoding length is effectively reduced, resulting in a shorter optimization time. The research results indicate that the converter possesses a polarization conversion efficiency ratio higher than 90% and a relative bandwidth ratio of 125% in a range of 0.231-0.995 THz. Meanwhile, it can maintain excellent polarization conversion properties when the incident angle of terahertz waves is less than 45$^\circ$ and the polarization angle is less than 15$^\circ$, demonstrating excellent practicality. New insights are provided for the design of terahertz wide-angle ultra-wideband polarization conversion devices, and the proposed metasurfce has potential applications in terahertz polarization imaging, spectroscopy and communication fields.

Online attention
Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
