In this paper, we investigate the dynamically tunable plasmon-induced transparency (PIT) effects in parallel black phosphorus nanoribbons (BPNRs). The results show that the BPNRs having different lengths can be regarded as bright modes. Single-band, double-band, triple-band, and multi-band PIT effects based on the bright-bright mode coupling between parallel BPNRs are achieved. The physical mechanism of the single-band model can be explained theoretically by the radiating two-oscillator (RTO) model. Due to the heavier effective mass in the zigzag (ZZ) direction of the BP, the frequencies of the transparent peaks are shifted to lower frequencies when the placement directions of BPNRs are changed from the X-direction to the Y-direction.Furthermore, the resonant frequencies of the transparent windows in each model can be tuned by changing the relaxation rates of the BPNRs. The frequencies of the transparent windows are blue-shifted as the relaxation rates are increased. Finally, The corresponding sensors based on single-band PIT effect show high sensitivities of 7.35 THz/RIU. Our study has potential applications for improving the design of multiple-band filters, sensors and on-off switcher .
An acoustic illusion device that can act as an invisible cloak or a shifting medium depending on the value of shift distance, which is about twice the circum-radius of the outer polygon, is proposed and designed based on linear coordinate transformation. A multi-folded transformation approach is used to design an illusion device with a circular opening window that allows for information interaction with the outside world. The results show that the proposed device can hide objects with arbitrary shapes or positions. Furthermore, in order to remove the material anisotropy of the proposed illusion device, a layered structure composed of homogenous and isotropic material is used based on the effective medium theory. The combination of the layered structure and the circular opening provide a flexible and feasible approach to achieve the partial implementation of the illusion device. It is hoped that these results may open an avenue for designing and implementing invisibility cloaks or illusion devices, and speed up potential applications for noise shielding, target camouflage, or target protection from active sonar signals.
<sec> In this paper, we have proposed a multiband plasmon-induced transparency (PIT) hybrid model based on silver nanorods, silver nanodisk and graphene. The electromagnetic properties are numerically and theoretically studied in this paper. The research results show that using the bright-bright mode coupling between silver nanorods and silver nanodisk, based on the weak hybridization effect induced by the detuning of each bright mode unit, the single-band, dual-band and triple-band PIT effects can be achieved. By changing the chemical potential of graphene, the tunability of the resonant frequencies and transmission amplitude can be achieved simultaneously in each PIT model. </sec><sec> When the chemical potential of graphene is 0 in each of the three PIT models, that is, without graphene, the resonant frequencies of its transparent window is the smallest. As the chemical potential of graphene increases from 0 to 0.5 eV, the resonant notches of the transparent peak in all three PIT models are both enhanced and blue shifted. Especially, when the chemical potential is 0.5 eV, the absolute increment of resonance notch generated by the sing-band PIT transparent window is <inline-formula><tex-math id="M1">\begin{document}$\Delta f = 1.01$\end{document}</tex-math><alternatives><graphic xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xlink:href="17-20200200_M1.jpg"/><graphic xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xlink:href="17-20200200_M1.png"/></alternatives></inline-formula> THz and the relative increment is 2.91% while the largest absolute increment of resonance notch generated by the dual-band PIT transparent window is <inline-formula><tex-math id="M2">\begin{document}$\Delta f = 1.77$\end{document}</tex-math><alternatives><graphic xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xlink:href="17-20200200_M2.jpg"/><graphic xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xlink:href="17-20200200_M2.png"/></alternatives></inline-formula> THz and the largest relative increment is 5.97%. In the next place, when the chemical potential is 0.3 eV, the absolute increment of resonance notch generated by the triple-band PIT transparent window is <inline-formula><tex-math id="M3">\begin{document}$\Delta f = 1.26$\end{document}</tex-math><alternatives><graphic xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xlink:href="17-20200200_M3.jpg"/><graphic xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xlink:href="17-20200200_M3.png"/></alternatives></inline-formula> THz and the relative increment of the window is 4.02%.</sec><sec> On the other hand, when graphene is existent in none of the three models, the resonance between silver nanodisk and silver nanorods, and the resonance between silver nanorods and silver nanorods are the weakest and the transmission amplitude of transparent window is the strongest in each of the three PIT models. Thereafter, with the increase of chemical potential, the number of surface charges on the silver nanodisk and silver nanorods increases and the intensity of electric field is enhanced. At the same time, the coupling strength between silver nanodisk and silver nanorods, and the coupling strength between silver nanorods and silver nanorods are also gradually enhanced. As a result, the transmission amplitude of each PIT model will gradually decrease. Especially, when the chemical potential is 0.5 eV, the amplitude modulation depth of the single-band PIT transparent peak is 20.2% and the amplitude modulation depth of the two transparent windows in dual-band PIT model are 31.2% and 24.2% respectively. In addition, when the chemical potential is 0.3 eV, the amplitude modulation depths of the three transparent windows in triple-band PIT model are 29.8%, 33.8%, and 20.5%. Finally, the sensing properties of the single-band PIT model are further investigated. The results show that the sensitivities of the model with refractive index of different background materials reach 3906.6 nm/RIU all, which provides a theoretical reference for the design of multiband filtering and ultrasensitive sensors. </sec>
