Terahertz(THz)circular dichroism(TCD)spectroscopy is extensively used to examine the chiral properties of biological macromolecules and other materials.The rapid advancements in strong-field THz generation and field-modulated techniques highlights the importance of advancing tunable strong-field TCD spectroscopy technology.In this study,we designed and implemented an integrated strong-field TCD spectroscopy system.By using a tilted-pulse-front technique,we generated linearly polarized strong-field THz radiation and achieved linear-to-circular polarization conversion via a reflective metasurface.The resulting circularly polarized THz radiation exhibited an ellipticity greater than 0.9 in the frequency range of 0.38-0.61 THz,achieving a linear-to-circular conversion efficiency exceeding 90%.Additionally,the peak electric field strength of the circularly polarized THz radiation exceeded 100kV/cm.The proposed system is expected to be instrumental in investigating the chiral characteristics of materials under strong field conditions and in examining how these characteristics vary under different field conditions.
