UrduIndependent controls of various properties of electromagnetic (EM) waves are crucially required in a wide range of applications. Towards this goal, scientists in China proposed the concept and general theory of space-time-polarization-coding (STPC) metasurface, which adds the functionality of arbitrarily controlling polarization direction compared to space-time-coding (STC) metasurfaces. The proposed approach has a wide range of applications in various areas, such as imaging, data storage, and wireless communication.
