Abstract

While fundamental to many scientific and technological applications, capabilities for controlling charge currents remain highly restricted, particularly at modern limiting nanometer spatial and femtosecond temporal scales. Here, we demonstrate a novel method for versatile ultrafast light-based current control within new class of optoelectronic metasurfaces. Local directional charge flows in the graphene layer underlying each gold nanoantenna conspire to millimeter-scale currents, as characterized via terahertz (THz) emission. Implementing largearea vector arrays as efficient sources, we introduce readily frequency- and polarization- tunable broadband cylindrical vector beam generation in the THz range, toward applications in information science, charge acceleration, THz spectroscopies, and THz imaging.
