Tunable Dual Plasmon-Induced Transparency Based on Homogeneous Graphene-Metal Metasurfaces at Terahertz Frequency

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: In recent years, the active control of terahertz waves using artificial microstructures has attracted increasing attention, especially toward the ones that have multiple plasmon-induced transparency (PIT) responses. Here, a homogeneous graphene-metal metasurface, exhibiting tunable dual-PIT in its terahertz (THz) spectral response, is investigated numerically and theoretically. Individual and simultaneous control of the two PIT transmission windows and the two slow-light effects are achieved by reconstructing the Fermi energies of the graphene strips. The modulation behavior can be expounded by the classical coupled three-particle model, which is confirmed by the simulation results. Moreover, the electric field distribution is introduced to analyze the dual-PIT active modulation mechanism. This work provides theoretical guidance for versatile applications in multi-function terahertz switches and slow-light devices.
