Abstract: In this paper, we review the recent developments on information metamaterials, including digital metamaterials, coding metamaterials, and programmable metamaterials; furthermore, we discuss their applications in the terahertz (THz)-frequency region. In addition their flexibility to manipulate the electromagnetic waves, the physical principle, numerical simulation, fabrication, and application of information metamaterial are discussed in detail. Moreover, we developed and applied a coding metasurface that works in the THz band. Furthermore, the principle of real-time programmable metamaterials and their application in novel imaging systems and radar systems are illustrated. Information metamaterials and metasurfaces can be used for various functional devices such as beam splitting and low radar cross section, which open up a novel route to manipulate THz radiations.
