Area of Science:

  • Terahertz (THz) technology
  • Metamaterials and Nanophotonics
  • Optoelectronics

Background:

  • Terahertz (THz) wave manipulation is vital for applications like communication and imaging.
  • Current THz devices are limited by large size and passive responses.
  • Tunable metasurfaces offer a dynamic platform for electromagnetic wave control.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a mechanically tunable metasurface (MTM) for THz beam deflection.
  • To overcome limitations of existing bulky and passive THz components.
  • To enable high-performance, miniaturized THz microsystems.

Main Methods:

  • Fabrication of a tunable metasurface using surface and bulk-micromachining.
  • Utilizing an air gap between a metallic resonator array and a ground plane for tunability.
  • Characterization of THz beam steering using terahertz time domain spectroscopy.

Main Results:

  • Achieved maximum terahertz beam deflection coefficient of 0.60 at 0.61 THz with a ~44.5° deflection angle at a 50 μm air gap.
  • Demonstrated an electrically tunable device with a high modulation depth of ~62.5% for dynamic beam steering.
  • Absence of lossy spacer materials enhanced deflection efficiency.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed mechanically tunable metasurface is a promising platform for efficient THz beam manipulation.
  • The device enables dynamic control of THz beam steering with high efficiency.
  • This technology has potential for miniaturized THz systems in communication, imaging, and space exploration.
