چکیده
We propose a metamaterial approach to route terahertz waves that features subwavelength confinement in the transverse plane. The guiding mechanism is based on geometrically induced electromagnetic modes sustained by corrugated metallic wedges, whose characteristics resemble those of wedge plasmon polaritons at telecom and optical frequencies. Additionally, frequency selective focusing and slowing down of terahertz radiation based on the proposed wedge waveguides are presented.

Scattering of terahertz radiation on a graphene-based nano-antenna
Scattering of the terahertz radiation on a graphene-based nano-antenna is considered. Different electromagnetic models of graphene are discussed and applied to calculate extinction, scattering and absorption cross sections of the nanoantenna. Scattering resonances in the terahertz band are identified as longitudinal Fabry-Perot resonances of surface plasmon polaritons supported by the graphene ...
متن کاملSpoof surface plasmon polaritons in terahertz transmission through subwavelength hole arrays analyzed by coupled oscillator model
Both the localized resonance and excitation of spoof surface plasmon polaritons are observed in the terahertz transmission spectra of periodic subwavelength hole arrays. Analyzing with the coupled oscillator model, we find that the terahertz transmission is actually facilitated by three successive processes: the incident terahertz field first initiates the localized oscillation around each hole...
متن کاملLong-range surface plasmon polaritons at THz frequencies in thin semiconductor layers
We present a theoretical investigation of THz long-range surface plasmon polaritons propagating on thin layers of InSb. The metallic behavior of doped semiconductors at THz frequencies allows the excitation of surface plasmon polaritons with propagation and confinement lengths that can be actively controlled. This control is achieved by acting on the free carrier density, which can be realized ...
متن کاملCoupling of Terahertz Surface Plasmon Polaritons in Corrugated Stacks of Dielectric and Semiconductor
We present a theoretical approach that terahertz surface plasmon polaritons (THzSPPs) are tuned by temperature in a stack of dielectric and semiconductor with periodic corrugations. Based on Rayleigh hypothesis, we show that when THz electromagnetic wave illuminates the waved stack, temperature-dependent THz-SPPs are excited. At resonant modes, reflection dips or Fano-type resonance shape are f...
متن کاملPlanar hyperlens based on a modulated graphene monolayer
The canalization of terahertz surface plasmon polaritons using a modulated graphene monolayer is investigated for subwavelength imaging. An anisotropic surface conductivity formed by a set of parallel nanoribbons with alternating positive and negative imaginary conductivities is used to realize the canalization regime required for hyperlensing. The ribbons are narrow compared to the wavelength ...
