We theoretically study the polarization conversion of terahertz radiation by the graphene metasurface formed by a periodic array of graphene nanoribbons located at the surface of a high-refractive-index dielectric substrate (terahertz prism). It is shown that the total polarization conversion can be achieved in the total internal reflection regime of THz-wave from the graphene metasurface even at room temperature.
