Design and optimization of a polarization-insensitive terahertz metamaterial absorber for sensing applications
This study presents dual-band Terahertz (THz) metamaterial absorbers (MA) designed with square resonators for sensing applications. The absorber is made up of a plasmonic ring resonator, a middle polyimide layer, and a lower metal plate, which enhances its absorption capabilities. The position of annular strips and patch units is strategically adjusted to tune and optimize the absorber’s performance precisely. The proposed metamaterial (MA) consistently absorbs over 99 % within the frequency range from 1.4 to 2.8 THz at 1.6 THz for peak-1 and 2.3 THz for peak-2. The peaks labeled as ‘f1’ and ‘f2’ have a spectral width of 0.02 THz and high-quality factors (Q-factors) of 23 for peak-1 and 29 for peak-2, respectively. This makes them remarkably sensitive to variations in the environmental refractive index (RI). It is important to observe that the refractive index of most samples falls within the range of 1.0–2.0, highlighting the potential applications of this sensor.
期刊介绍:
This journal establishes a dedicated channel for physicists, material scientists, chemists, engineers and computer scientists who are interested in photonics and nanostructures, and especially in research related to photonic crystals, photonic band gaps and metamaterials. The Journal sheds light on the latest developments in this growing field of science that will see the emergence of faster telecommunications and ultimately computers that use light instead of electrons to connect components.
