Observing metamaterial induced transparency in individual Fano resonators with broken symmetry
(AIP Publishing, 2011-11-15)
Metamaterial induced transparency is demonstrated using individual split ring resonators with two gaps on opposite side. For the symmetric structure, only a low quality dipolar resonance is witnessed at a normal incidence ...
Controlling metamaterial resonances via dielectric and aspect ratio effects
(AIP Publishing, 2010-11-09)
We study ways to enhance the sensitivity and dynamic tuning range of the fundamental inductor-capacitor (LC) resonance in split ring resonators (SRRs) by controlling the aspect ratio of the SRRs and their substrate thickness. ...
Electromagnetically induced transparency in terahertz plasmonic metamaterials via dual excitation pathways of the dark mode
(AIP Publishing, 2012-03-26)
We observe the excitation and tuning of electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) by the interference between different excitation pathways of the dark mode in a planar terahertz metamaterial. The EIT unit cell consists ...
Tailoring the slow light behavior in terahertz metasurfaces
(AIP Publishing, 2015-05-04)
We experimentally study the effect of near field coupling on the transmission of light in terahertz metasurfaces. Our results show that tailoring the coupling between the resonators modulates the amplitude of resulting ...
Strong influence of packing density in terahertz metamaterials
(AIP Publishing, 2010-12-16)
We investigate the response of a terahertz metamaterial depending on the unit cell density. The fundamental inductive capacitive (LC) resonance has its highest quality (Q) factor for a critical period Pc=lambda/n, with ...
Cryogenic temperatures as a path toward high-Q terahertz metamaterials
(AIP Publishing, 2010-02-19)
Optical properties of planar thin film metamaterials were measured at room and liquid nitrogen temperatures using terahertz time-domain spectroscopy. The operation of metamaterials at cryogenic temperatures is anticipated ...
Modulating the fundamental inductive-capacitive resonance in asymmetric double-split ring terahertz metamaterials
(AIP Publishing, 2011-03-24)
We investigate resonant transmission of planar asymmetric metamaterials made from double split-ring resonators. As the symmetry of the unit cell resonator is broken by displacing the two gaps away from the center in opposite ...
Ultrasensitive terahertz sensing with high-Q Fano resonances in metasurfaces
(AIP Publishing, 2014-10-27)
High quality factor resonances are extremely promising for designing ultra-sensitive refractive index label-free sensors, since it allows intense interaction between electromagnetic waves and the analyte material. Metamaterial ...
Probing the transition from an uncoupled to a strong near-field coupled regime between bright and dark mode resonators in metasurfaces
(AIP Publishing, 2014-08-27)
The coupling of multiple plasmonic resonators that sustain bright or dark modes provide intriguing spectral signatures. However, probing the onset of coupling effects while engaging the resonators with an increasing proximity ...
