We present new design strategies of dielectric metasurfaces for terahertz generation, detection, and manipulation. Metasurface designs can enhance two-step photon absorption process of low-temperature grown GaAs and can be used to detect terahertz radiation with 60 dB of dynamic range and 4.5 THz of bandwidth using telecom-wavelengths lasers. Moreover, combining InAs metasurfaces and unpatterned films we can realize focused terahertz beam generation using Fresnel zone plate designs without additional terahertz lenses and other optical elements. Our all-dielectric metasurface designs provides an unparalleled opportunity to realize low cost, high performance, and compact terahertz devices.
