In the field of optoelectronics, circular dichroism (CD) has caused great research interest because it is widely used in imaging and biosensing. A new method for dynamically controlling terahertz (THz) CD in metamaterials is proposed. By introducing chirality and graphene to metamaterials, a pair of chiral structures with completely opposite responses to left‐handed circularly polarized (LCP) waves and right‐handed circularly polarized (RCP) waves are designed. The influencing factors of CD are explored, including the gap of the structure, the linewidth of graphene, and the Fermi level of graphene. The largest CD (ΔR) is 77%. The CD can be actively modulated in a modulation range of 39–77% and the modulation depth is up to 38%. In addition, two‐channel and four‐channel chiral metasurfaces for near‐field imaging are designed in this way. Good imaging effects and on (“1”) or off (“0”) effects of the multichannel metasurface are demonstrated. This work provides new ideas for the design of tunable metasurfaces and promotes the application of metasurfaces in THz dynamic imaging.
A new method to enhance the beam shift of Goos-Hänchen (GH) effect in a 1D photonic crystal based on Larmor resonance in terahertz (THz) region is proposed. Larmor resonance can enhance the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) effect, which enhances the GH effect. A 1D photonic crystal with a graphene-VO 2 periodic structure is designed. As a result of different states at different temperatures, the SPR effect of graphene-VO 2 periodic structure photonic crystals will change. In this structure, Larmor resonance caused by a strong magnetic field perpendicular to the incident surface will resonate with surface plasmons. It is found that the strength of the magnetic field required to enhance SPR is relative to the frequency of electromagnetic waves and the Fermi level. The enhancement of the GH effect by the Larmor resonance theory provides a new way for us to measure strong magnetic fields.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
