    Area of Science:

    • Wireless Communication
    • Terahertz Technology
    • Metamaterials

    Background:

    • Increasing demand for bandwidth necessitates exploring higher frequencies, leading to the "THz gap".
    • Traditional voltage-domain modulation in terahertz (THz) systems faces limitations with noise and spectral efficiency.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a multi-level amplitude shift keying (ASK) THz wireless communication system utilizing terahertz spatial light modulators (SLM).
    • To achieve higher spectral efficiency for high-speed THz communication by overcoming limitations of voltage-domain modulation.

    Main Methods:

    • Employed an active metamaterial array with pseudomorphic high-electron mobility transistors (pHEMT) for electronic control of THz transmissivity.
    • Integrated pHEMT within a gallium-arsenide (GaAs) process to create individually controllable tiles for transmissive THz spatial modulation.
    • Converted noisy voltage signals to noise-free binary spatial patterns for amplitude modulation of a free-space THz carrier wave.

    Main Results:

    • Demonstrated a four-level ASK digital communication system using spatial light modulation.
    • Achieved a two-orders-of-magnitude improvement in symbol error rate (SER) compared to voltage-controlled modulation.
    • Showcased this improvement despite a 20 dB degradation in transmit signal-to-noise ratio (SNR).

    Conclusions:

    • Spatial light modulation offers a viable solution for closing the "THz gap" in wireless communication.
    • The proposed metamaterial-based SLM system significantly enhances SER performance in THz communication.
    • This technology paves the way for higher spectral efficiency and faster data rates in future wireless systems.
