Coherent Control of a Terahertz Metamaterial
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present the first coherent control experiments of a metamaterial. We fabricated a planar metamaterial showing two separated resonances at THz frequencies. It acts similar to an atomic system with two uncoupled excited states. Through temporal coherent control with broadband THz pulses we can excite both, none, or individual resonances.

In this paper, a compact plasmonic metamaterial absorber for terahertz frequencies is proposed and simulated. The absorber is based on metamaterial graphene structures, and benefits from dynamically controllable properties of graphene. Through patterning graphene layers, plasmonic resonances are tailored to provide a dual band as well as an improved bandwidth absorption. Unit cell of the design...
متن کاملNumerical Modeling of a Metamaterial Biosensor for Cancer Tissues Detection
In this paper, the numerical design and simulate a biosensor to detect tumors and cancerous tissues by using metamaterial structures in the microwave regime are presented. The presented structure consists of a microstrip transmission line and a split ring resonator (SRR) that form a bandpass filter and has a unique resonance frequency. Given that cancerous tissues have larger volumes of water t...
متن کاملTerahertz metamaterials for linear polarization conversion and anomalous refraction.
Polarization is one of the basic properties of electromagnetic waves conveying valuable information in signal transmission and sensitive measurements. Conventional methods for advanced polarization control impose demanding requirements on material properties and attain only limited performance.

The electrically tunable properties of liquid-crystal fishnet metamaterials are theoretically investigated in the terahertz spectrum. A nematic liquid crystal layer is introduced between two fishnet metallic structures, forming a voltage-controlled metamaterial cavity. Tuning of the nematic molecular orientation is shown to shift the magnetic resonance frequency of the metamaterial and its over...
