研究目的
To demonstrate terahertz guided mode resonances (GMRs) in low-loss, all-dielectric metasurfaces and explore their potential applications in efficient terahertz devices.
研究成果
The study successfully demonstrates terahertz GMRs in all-dielectric metasurfaces, showing potential for applications in high-Q transmission filters, ultrafast modulators, and free-space couplers. The symmetry-protected bound states in the continuum (BICs) at normal incidence offer a new route for realizing efficient on-chip THz communication components.
研究不足
The limited resolution of the THz-TDS system restricts the maximum measurable Q-factor. The presence of diffraction modes and the use of UV glue with a lower refractive index than quartz may cause minor deviations in the experimental results.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study employs numerical simulations and experimental measurements to investigate GMRs in all-dielectric metasurfaces. The metasurfaces consist of periodic square lattices of silicon cuboids on quartz substrates, acting as both diffraction gratings and in-plane slab waveguides.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
High-resistivity silicon cuboid resonators are fabricated on quartz substrates. The transmission spectra are measured using a fiber-based THz time-domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS) system.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
The fabrication involves SiO2 deposition, photolithography, reactive ion etching (RIE), and deep RIE. The THz-TDS system is used for transmission measurements.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The metasurfaces are fabricated using conventional photolithography and etching techniques. The transmission spectra are measured at varying angles of incidence to observe GMRs.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The transmitted time-domain signals are transformed to frequency domain and normalized by the transmission signal through a bare quartz substrate. The resonance features are analyzed to understand the GMRs.
