Abstract: Extrinsic chiral metasurfaces offer a promising route for controlling chiroptical responses through incident angle variation, yet the simultaneous realization of strong circular dichroism and full-space polarization beam splitting remains challenging. In this work, we propose an all-dielectric extrinsic chiral metasurface that leverages obliquely incident terahertz waves to break in-plane symmetry, thereby activating out-of-plane multipoles and inducing strong spin-selective scattering. At an incident angle of 30°, the metasurface achieves efficient full-space separation of left- and right-handed circularly polarized waves, with a circular dichroism peak exceeding 0.7 near 0.48 THz. Moreover, by varying the incident angle or operating frequency, the polarization state of the reflected wave can be continuously tuned from linear to elliptical to nearly circular, as visualized on the Poincaré sphere. This angle-dependent, full-space polarization manipulation capability highlights the potential of the proposed metasurface for applications in advanced terahertz imaging, LiDAR, and integrated photonic systems.
