Terahertz metasurfaces to demonstrate an extremely wide range of refractive indices in the 0.3-THz band

Metasurfaces suitable for the terahertz gap are alternatives to naturally occurring materials and could accelerate the development of terahertz flat optics integrated with terahertz continuous-wave sources.

description Metasurfaces suitable for the terahertz gap are alternatives to naturally occurring materials and could accelerate the development of terahertz flat optics integrated with terahertz continuous-wave sources. However, metasurfaces have yet to be commonly adopted in terahertz devices that require a number of specific material properties because of the many choices in meta-atom design. In this paper, we demonstrate that simple dimension control of a single kind of meta-atom enables the design of a wide range of refractive indices from large positive to negative values in the 0.3-THz band. Measurements by terahertz time-domain spectroscopy verify three kinds of metasurfaces with (1) an extremely high refractive index of 12.3 +  j 0.88 and reflectance of 5.1% at 0.31 THz, (2) a zero refractive index of − 0.44 +  j 0.12 and reflectance of 2.6% at 0.34 THz, and (3) a negative refractive index of − 5.4 +  j 0.32 and reflectance of 22.7% at 0.31 THz. The 0.3-THz band is a frequency band for candidates to 6G wireless communications. Our results offer an accessible material platform for terahertz flat optics such as metalenses, antennas, and phase plates. Terahertz flat optics based on our presented metasurfaces would be a welcome contribution to the development of terahertz industries, including 6G wireless communications.
