Abstract:
Metamaterials made from artificial subwavelength structures hold great potential in designing functional devices at microwave, terahertz, infrared, and optical frequencies. In this work, we study the active switching effect of the plasmonic resonance modes in triangular dimer (DTD) structure using graphene in the terahertz regime. The sole DTD structure can only support a dipolar bonding dimer plasmonic (BDP) mode, whose field enhancement factor at the gap center can reach 67.4. However, with a metallic junction in the dimer, the BDP mode switches to a charge transfer plasmonic (CTP) mode. When changing the metallic junction to a graphene stripe, an active modulation effect of the CTP mode can be realized by altering the nonlinear conductivity of graphene through strong-field terahertz incidence. The proposed design is quite promising in terahertz sensing, amplitude switching and nonlinear effect enhancement, etc.
