Metasurfaces are composed of the subwavelength structures, which can be used to manipulate the amplitude, phase, and polarization of incident electromagnetic waves efficiently. Here, we propose a novel type of dielectric metasurface based on crystal Si for realizing to manipulate the terahertz wave, in which by varying the geometric sizes of the Si micro-bricks, the transmitting phase of the terahertz wave can almost span over the entire 2π range for both of the x-polarization and y-polarization simultaneously, while keeping the similarly high-transmission amplitudes (over 90%). At the frequency of 1.0 THz, we have successfully designed a series of controllable THz devices, such as the polarization-dependent beam splitter, polarization-independent beam deflector and the focusing lenses based on the designed metasurfaces. Our designs are easy to fabricate and can be promising in developing high-efficiency THz functional devices.
