Temperature Tunable Narrow-Band Terahertz Metasurface Absorber Based on InSb Micro-Cylinder Arrays for Enhanced Sensing Application
摘要： A narrow-band metasurface absorber (MSA) based on InSb micro-cylinder arrays has been proposed and investigated numerically, which could be believed to be applicable for both temperature and refractive index (RI) sensing in terahertz (THz) region. Distinct from previous designs, the proposed narrow-band MSA is only consisted of a sub-wavelength periodic micro-cylinder array based on the InSb material possessing an extremely thermosensitive relative permittivity which varies with the external environment temperature, and a gold ground-plane deposited on a glass substrate. Numerical simulation results indicate that the proposed MSA can achieve an absorbance of 99.9% at 1.8985 THz and the corresponding Q-factor is about 120.9 at room temperature (300 K). It is inferred that the narrow-band perfect absorption of the MSA could be contributed to the surface plasmon polariton (SPP) resonance mode excitation. Furthermore, the absorption property of the designed MSA is found to be highly sensitive to the RI value variations of the surrounding mediums and fluctuations of external environment temperature. Thus, the proposed MSA can be not only operated as a temperature sensor with a sensitivity of 2.13 GHz/K, but also a RI sensor with a sensitivity of 960 GHz/RIU (refractive index unit). Due to its high sensing performance, it can be believed that the narrow-band MSA has great potential applications in chemical, biological or other optoelectronic related areas.

Thermally tunable terahertz metasurface absorber based on all dielectric indium antimonide resonator structure
摘要： In this paper, we present a novel design of temperature tunable metasurface absorber (MSA) based on all dielectric indium antimonide (InSb) resonator structure in terahertz (THz) region. The permittivity of the InSb dielectric is dependent on the variation of temperature. Based on the perfect impedance-match (Re(z)?1) to the free space, the absorbance of the proposed MSA is up to 99.9% at 1.43 THz and the Q-factor is about 26.9 when temperature is 285 K. The perfect absorption of the MSA is mainly from excitation of fundamental dipolar mode. In addition, the MSA is polarization-insensitive for both transverse electric (TE) and transverse magnetic (TM) waves. Furthermore, the absorption properties of the MSA can be adjusted by changing the geometric parameters of the unit-cell structure and temperature. The design offers a new route for control of THz absorption with potential applications in imaging, energy harvesting, sensing, and detecting.
