Broadband all-electronically tunable MEMS terahertz quantum cascade lasers.
In this work, we demonstrate all-electronically tunable terahertz quantum cascade lasers (THz QCLs) with MEMS tuner structures. A two-stage MEMS tuner device is fabricated by a commercial open-foundry process performed by the company MEMSCAP. This provides an inexpensive, rapid, and reliable approach for MEMS tuner fabrication for THz QCLs with a high-precision alignment scheme. In order to ele...
متن کاملSwitchable Scattering Meta-Surfaces for Broadband Terahertz Modulation
Active tuning and switching of electromagnetic properties of materials is of great importance for controlling their interaction with electromagnetic waves. In spite of their great promise, previously demonstrated reconfigurable metamaterials are limited in their operation bandwidth due to their resonant nature. Here, we demonstrate a new class of meta-surfaces that exhibit electrically-induced ...
متن کاملA broadband terahertz ultrathin multi-focus lens
Ultrathin transmission metasurface devices are designed on the basis of the Yang-Gu amplitude-phase retrieval algorithm for focusing the terahertz (THz) radiation into four or nine spots with focal spacing of 2 or 3 mm at a frequency of 0.8 THz. The focal properties are experimentally investigated in detail, and the results agree well with the theoretical expectations. The designed THz multi-fo...
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 کاملUltra Broadband MEMS Switch on Silicon and GaAs Substrates
This paper reports on the performance of highly reliable dc to 110GHz low-voltage millimeter wave MEMS switches on GaAs and Si. The switch has demonstrated insertion loss less than 6dB and isolation better than 15dB up to 110GHz and a cold switching lifetime greater than 6.9×10 cycles. The design and fabrication methods used to achieve ultra broadband performance and high reliability are presen...
