This study introduces a stainless steel-based complementary C-shaped single split ring resonator (CSRR) metasurface designed for Terahertz (THz) imaging applications. The CSRR metasurface was created from a 25 μm thick stainless-steel foil using laser ablation, and serves as a zone plate, allowing precise manipulation of 100 GHz radiation. The investigation involved beam-shaping characterization of the metasurface comprising CSRRs of different geometrical parameters and examining the bending influence on the metasurface's functionality, revealing a minimal reduction in beam intensity. Additionally, the proposed metasurface demonstrated the ability to control polarization by sweeping its rotational angle, enhancing THz polarization-resolved imaging capabilities. Practical demonstrations showcase the metasurface's suitability for real-life scenarios, highlighting its value in THz imaging systems.
