Ultra-Compact Bidirectional Terahertz Switch Based on Resonance in Graphene Ring and Plate
In this paper, we present a switch based on coupling and resonance in thegraphene plate and rings operating at 10 THz. This structure consists of several layers ofHexagonal Boron Nitride (hBN), SiO2 and P+Si, such that graphene plates and rings areinside the hBN layer. The terahertz wave is incident from the upper part of the switchand Surface Plasmons (SPs) are excited ...
متن کاملCharacterisation a Novel Dual-control Terahertz Optical Asymmetric Demultiplexer Switch
Application of terahertz optical asymmetric demultiplexer (TOAD) in ultrafast all-optical switching has received a great deal of interest in the last few years because of its simplicity and low switching energy [1]. However, existing TOAD switches see Fig. 1(a), suffer from asymmetrical switching window (SW) profile that results in high crosstalk, which in turn affects the bit error rate (BER) ...
متن کاملA push-button molecular switch.
The preparation, characterization, and switching mechanism of a unique single-station mechanically switchable hetero[2]catenane are reported. The facile synthesis utilizing a "threading-followed-by-clipping" protocol features Cu(2+)-catalyzed Eglinton coupling as a mild and efficient route to the tetrathiafulvalene-based catenane in high yield. The resulting mechanically interlocked molecule op...
متن کاملOptically implemented broadband blueshift switch in the terahertz regime.
We experimentally demonstrate, for the first time, an optically implemented blueshift tunable metamaterial in the terahertz (THz) regime. The design implies two potential resonance states, and the photoconductive semiconductor (silicon) settled in the critical region plays the role of intermediary for switching the resonator from mode 1 to mode 2. The observed tuning range of the fabricated dev...
متن کاملThe smallest molecular switch.
Ab initio total energy calculations reveal benzene-dithiolate molecules on a gold surface, contacted by a monatomic gold STM tip to have two classes of low-energy conformations with differing symmetries. Lateral motion of the tip or excitation of the molecule cause it to change from one conformation class to the other and to switch between a strongly and a weakly conducting state. Thus, surpris...
