Controllable frequency and polarization THz filter based on graphene fish‐scale metamaterial

Abstract

In this work, we propose and numerically analyze a new electromagnetic polarization filter in THz region based on graphene fish-scale structure. The array is composed by graphene strips placed on a metallized dielectric substrate. The filter can operate in two different frequency regions that can be shifted in frequency by appropriate choice of width of the graphene ribbons. We present as an example, at f 1 5 0.483 THz, the structure possesses the reflection coefficient of 20.38 dB for the incident waves with x-polarization and 248.05dB for the y-polarized ones, while at f 2 5 0.792 THz, the reflection coefficients are 247.25 dB for x-polarization and 20.86 dB for y-polarization. The physics of the device is based on surface plasmon polariton (SPP) resonances in the graphene. The central frequency can be dynamically adjusted by changing the chemical potential (ie, by an external voltage for example) of the graphene strips.

Tunable dual‐band filter based on monolayer black phosphorus

“…Since 2004, when researchers managed to isolate and characterize a sheet of graphene, 1 which is a two-dimensional (2D) material 2 with a thickness of one carbon atom, many works on graphene nanophotonic devices were published, among them filters, 3,4 optical switches, 5 photodetectors, 6 sensors, 7 absorbers, 8 just to name a few. One of the effects of this great investment in research and applications was the search for obtaining other 2D materials.…”

A Dual-Frequency Terahertz Metasurface Capable of Distinguishing the Handedness of Circularly Polarized Light

“…In practice, however, the single working frequency limits their applications while more frequencies can provide more dimensional information. There are also some studies that focus on the operating wavelength tuning by using phase-change materials, such as graphene [24][25][26] or vanadium dioxide [27][28][29]. However, such devices may result in difficulty in practical production and processing.…”
