Investigation of graphene supported terahertz elliptical metamaterials

Based on a graphene asymmetric sdouble ellipse (ADE) structure, the tunable Fano resonance characteristics in the terahertz range have been symmetrically studied, including the effects of graphene Fermi levels, asymmet-rical degrees, operation frequencies and structural parameters. The results show that due to the strong coupling between the incident THz waves and graphene ADE structures, a strong Fano peak can be observed by arranging double ellipse asymmetrically. The maximum peak of Fano resonance reaches 0.918, and its Q-factor is about 20. As the asymmetrical degree of the ADE structure increases, the Fano peak value increases, and the amplitude modulation depth reaches about 75%. As graphene level increases, the amplitude and frequency modulation depths reaches more than 31% and 11%, respectively. These results are very helpful to design novel tunable graphene devices with high Q-factor devices in the future, such as sensors, modulators, and filters.
