Abstract:
We report theoretical investigations on the spectral behavior of two fractal metasurfaces, performed in the 3-6 THz frequency window (5-10 μm equivalent wavelength window), under illumination with both linear and circular polarization state fields. Both metasurfaces stem from the same tree-like structure, based on C-shaped elements, made of cadmium telluride (CdTe), and deposited on silicon carbide (SiC) substrates, the main difference between them being the level of structural complexity. The simulated spectral behavior of both structures indicates the tunability of the reflection spectrum by varying the complexity of the tree-like structure.
