Wenxin Li et al.

Summary: In this paper, an active tunable terahertz bandwidth absorber based on single-layer graphene is proposed. It shows high absorption and excellent physical regulation in the range of 3.7 THz-8 THz when the Fermi energy (E-f) of graphene is 1.5 eV. The absorber exhibits superior tunability by adjusting physical parameters and E-f, and it is also polarization independent and insensitive to the incident angle.

Vanadium dioxide-based terahertz metasurfaces for manipulating wavefronts with switchable polarization

Ruixing Nie et al.

Summary: Reflective meta-atoms based on vanadium dioxide (VO2) are designed to achieve wavefront reconfiguration in terahertz frequency. The meta-atoms provide full phase coverage and high polarization conversion efficiency when VO2 is in the metal state. However, when VO2 undergoes phase transition to the insulating state, the phase coverage and polarization conversion capability decrease significantly. Three metasurfaces, including anomalous reflector, met-alens, and vortex beam generator, demonstrate wavefront manipulation and polarization conversion abilities when VO2 is in the metal state. On the other hand, when VO2 is in the insulating state, the metasurfaces function as specular reflectors. Simulations verify the wavefront modulation and polarization control abilities of the proposed metasurfaces.

Multimode tunable terahertz absorber based on a quarter graphene disk structure

Zhibin Ye et al.

Summary: In this research, a simple tunable absorber based on graphene with tunable Fermi level was designed to solve the unadjustability of traditional noble metal absorbers in meeting complex application requirements in the actual electromagnetic environment. The performance of the absorber was theoretically simulated using the finite difference time domain (FDTD) method. The proposed absorber exhibited two perfect absorption peaks with high efficiency in its working band (90-155 μm). The absorber's absorption frequency can be adjusted through controlling the relaxation time and Fermi level of graphene or changing the refractive index of the medium. The proposed absorber has the potential to adapt to different electromagnetic environments and can be flexibly regulated in practical applications, opening up new possibilities for various fields such as detection and communication.

Tunable broadband absorber based on a layered resonant structure with a Dirac semimetal

Wenxin Li et al.

Summary: In this research, a tunable broadband absorber based on a layered resonant structure was designed, which achieved high absorption (more than 0.9) in the frequency range of 18-28 THz. The high absorption was attributed to strong resonance absorption between the layers and the resonance of the localised surface plasmon. The absorber, consisting of three layers of Dirac semimetal and three layers of optical crystal plates on a gold substrate, also showed tunability and absorption stability.
