Active Modulation of an All-Dielectric Metasurface Analogue of Electromagnetically Induced Transparency in Terahertz

[Image: see text] In this work, an analogue of electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) is excited by a periodic unit consisting of a silicon rectangular bar resonator and a silicon ring resonator in terahertz (THz). The analogue of the EIT effect can be well excited by coupling of the “bright mode” and the “dark mode” supported by the bar and the ring, respectively. Using the semimetallic properties of graphene, active control of the EIT-like effect can be realized by integrating a monolayer graphene into THz metamaterials. By adjusting the Fermi energy of graphene, the resonating electron distribution changes in the dielectric structures, resulting in the varying of the EIT-like effect. The transmission can be modulated from 0.9 to 0.3 with the Fermi energy of graphene placed under the ring resonator mold varying from 0 to 0.6 eV, while a modulation range of 0.9–0.3 corresponds to Fermi energy from 0 to 0.3 eV when graphene is placed under the rectangular bar resonator. Our results may provide potential applications in slow light devices and an ultrafast optical signal.
