Tunable Extraordinary Optical Transmission with Graphene in Terahertz

Abstract

Tunable extraordinary optical transmission (EOT) with graphene is realized using a novel metallic ring−rod nested structure in the terahertz frequency regime. The generated double-enhanced transmission peaks primarily originate from the excitation of localized surface plasmon resonances (LSPRs). On using graphene, the resonating surface plasmon distribution changes in the reaction plane, which disturbs the generation of LSPRs. By regulating the Fermi energy (E f ) of the graphene to reach a certain level, an adjustment from bimodal EOT to unimodal EOT is obtained. As the E f of the graphene integrated beneath the rod increases to 0.5 eV, the transmittance of the peak at 2.42 THz decreases to 6%. Moreover, the transmission peak at 1.77 THz virtually disappears due to the E f increasing to 0.7 eV when the graphene is placed beneath the ring. The significant tuning capabilities of the bimodal EOT indicate its promising application prospects in frequencyselective surfaces, communication, filtering, and radar.

GITz: Graphene-assisted IRS Design for THz Communication

“…In GIRS, at the boundary between a metal and dielectric, the coupling of external EM waves and plasmons on the metal surface generates a wave that propagates along the interface [16]. The EM responses of the IRS reflecting elements govern the resonance of GIRS caused by the constructive or destructive interference of multiple reflections.…”

A Low Profile Wideband Linear to Circular Polarization Converter Metasurface with Wide Axial Ratio and High Ellipticity

“…The authors introduce a single-layer metasurface reflector for microwave linear-to-linear cross-polarization conversion featuring a unit cell with a triple-arrow resonant structure [16]. Researchers have also introduced several ideas to fabricate transmission-type [17][18][19][20][21] and reflection-type LTC polarization converters [22][23][24][25][26]. Plasmon resonators that work in multi-order to perform the polarization of waves are reported in the literature [27][28][29][30][31].…”

Ultrafast Dynamics of Extraordinary Optical Transmission through Two-Slit Plasmonic Antenna

“…Extraordinary optical transmission (EOT) through a variety of subwavelength nanostructures in metal films has attracted great interest for both scientific and practical purposes [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 ]. EOT refers to enhanced optical transmission with improved efficiencies exceeding unity at a certain wavelength, which are orders of magnitude higher than the transmission predicted by classical diffraction theory.…”
