Abstract Owing to their novel electromagnetic properties, metamaterials have some potential applications in many fields, such as polarized rotators, diode-like devices and other photonics devices. The polarization conversion between linear-to-linear, li-near-to-circular, circular-to-circular polarization waves and the asymmetric transmission in metamaterials are summarized. The mec-hanism of enhancing the asymmetric transmission of linear and circular polarization waves by using Fabry-Perot-like resonance is also expounded.
