In numerical simulation the metamaterial absorber exhibits two absorption peaks at the resonance wavelengths of 6.246 μm and 6.837μm when the Fermi level of graphene is fixed at 0. 6 eV. Absorption spectra at different Fermi levels of graphene are displayed and tuning functions are discussed in detail. Both the resonance wavelengths of the absorber blue shift with the increase in Fermi level of graphene. Moreover, the surface current distributions on the gold resonator and ground plane at the two resonance wavelengths are simulated to deeply understand the physical mechanism of resonance absorption.展开更多

By displacing the two gaps of the conventional double- split ring resonator away from the center, the second resonant frequency for the 0° polarized wave and the resonant frequency for the 90° polarized wave become increasingly close to each other until they are finally identical. Theoretical and experimental results show that the modified double-split ring resonator and the modified triple-split ring resonator are insensitive to different polarized waves and show strong resonant frequency dips near 433 and 444OHz, respectively. The results of this work suggest new opportunities for the investigation and design of polarization-dependent terahertz devices based on split ring resonators.展开更多

By investigating the influence of the asymmetrical arm width in typical SSRRs, we find that the variation of the arm width enables a blue shift of the resonance frequency for the 0° polarized wave and a red shift of the resonance frequency for the 90° polarized wave. Thus, the resonance frequency for the 0° polarized wave and the resonance frequency for the 90° polarized wave will be identical by asymmetrically adjusting the arm width of the SSRR. Two modified, split-ring resonators(MSRRs) that are insensitive to the polarization with asymmetrical arm widths are designed, fabricated, and tested. Excellent agreement between the simulations and experiments for the MSRRs demonstrates the polarization insensitivity with asymmetrical arm widths. This work opens new opportunities for the investigation of polarization-insensitive, split-ring resonator metamaterials and will broaden the applications of split-ring resonators in various terahertz devices.展开更多
