Abstract

We report the simultaneous excitation of the odd and the even eigenmode resonances in a periodic array of square split-ring resonators, with four resonators per unit cell. When the electric field is parallel to their gaps, only the two well-studied odd eigenmodes are excited. As the resonators are rotated relative to one another, we observe the emergence and excitation of an extremely sharp even eigenmode. In uncoupled split-ring resonators, this even eigenmode is typically radiative in nature with a broad resonance linewidth and low Q-factor. However, in our coupled system, for specific range of rotation angles, our simulations revealed a remarkably high quality factor (Q ∼ 100) for this eigenmode, which has sub-radiant characteristics. This type of quad-supercell metamaterial offers the advantage of enabling access to all the three distinct resonance features of the split-ring resonator, which consists of two odd eigenmodes in addition to the high-Q even eigenmode, which could be exploited for high performance multiband filters and absorbers. The high Q even eigenmode could find applications in designing label free bio-sensors and for studying the enhanced light matter interaction effects.

High-Q lattice mode matched structural resonances in terahertz metasurfaces

Journal Article Xu, Ningning; Zhang, Weili; Singh, Ranjan - Applied Physics Letters

The quality (Q) factor of metamaterial resonances is limited by the radiative and non-radiative losses. At terahertz frequencies, the dominant loss channel is radiative in nature since the non-radiative losses are low due to high conductivity of metals. Radiative losses could be suppressed by engineering the meta-atom structure. However, such suppression usually occurs at the fundamental resonance mode which is typically a closed mode resonance such as an inductive-capacitive resonance or a Fano resonance. Here, we report an order of magnitude enhancement in Q factor of all the structural eigenresonances of a split-ring resonator fueled by the lattice mode matching.more »« less

Coupling Schemes in Terahertz Planar Metamaterials

Journal Article Roy Chowdhury, Dibakar; Singh, Ranjan; Taylor, Antoinette; ... - International Journal of Optics

We present a review of the different coupling schemes in a planar array of terahertz metamaterials. The gap-to-gap near-field capacitive coupling between split-ring resonators in a unit cell leads to either blue shift or red shift of the fundamental inductive-capacitive ( LC ) resonance, depending on the position of the split gap. The inductive coupling is enhanced by decreasing the inter resonator distance resulting in strong blue shifts of the LC resonance. We observe the LC resonance tuning only when the split-ring resonators are in close proximity of each other; otherwise, they appear to be uncoupled. Conversely, the higher-order resonancesmore »« less

An air-spaced terahertz metamaterial perfect absorber

Journal Article Duan, Guangwu; Schalch, Jacob; Zhao, Xiaoguang; ... - Sensors and Actuators. A, Physical

Metamaterial absorbers are typically comprised of a layer of split-ring resonators and a ground plane with a dielectric spacer layer that provides structural support and in which absorbed energy is deposited. For this work, we address the question “What happens to the absorption if the spacer layer is removed?” through the design, fabrication, and characterization of a terahertz metamaterial absorber with air as the spacer layer. Reflection based terahertz time-domain spectroscopy was employed to measure the absorption and interference theory was used to interpret the results. The surface current in the gold ground plane and split-ring resonator layer is solelymore »« less

Ultrafast Relaxation of Charge Carriers Induced Switching in Terahertz Metamaterials

Journal Article Rao, S.; Kumar, Gagan; Azad, Abul; ... - Journal of Infrared, Millimeter, and Terahertz Waves

Here, we demonstrate ultrafast switching of resonant mode in terahertz metamaterials through optical excitation of radiation-damaged silicon placed in the gap of a split-ring resonator. Upon optical excitation, we observe the dynamic transition of the fundamental resonance from ON-to-OFF state on a timescale of 4 picoseconds (ps) and then fast recovery of the resonance to the ON-state within the next 20 ps. Electric field distributions in the metamaterial unit cell derived through numerical simulations clearly support our experimental observations, showing that the high electric field at the resonator gaps, responsible for inductive-capacitive (LC) resonance, completely disappears and switches OFF themore »« less

Collective non-perturbative coupling of 2D electrons with high-quality-factor terahertz cavity photons [Collective ultrastrong light-matter coupling in a high-Q terahertz photonic cavity]

Journal Article Zhang, Qi; Lou, Minhan; Li, Xinwei; ... - Nature Physics

Here, nonperturbative coupling of light with condensed matter in a cavity is expected to reveal a host of coherent many-body phenomena and states that are inaccessible in equilibrium. However, creating a system that combines a long electronic coherence time, a large dipole moment, and a high cavity quality (Q) factor has been a challenging goal. Here, we report collective ultrastrong light-matter coupling in an ultrahigh-mobility two-dimensional electron gas in a high-Q terahertz photonic-crystal cavity in a quantizing magnetic field, demonstrating a record-high cooperativity of ~360. The splitting of cyclotron resonance (CR) into the lower and upper magnetopolariton branches exhibited amore »« less
