Description

Terahertz broadband negative refractive index metamaterial structure based on dynamic regulation and control of equivalent energy level
The technical field is as follows:
the invention belongs to the technical field of terahertz (THz) metamaterial design, and particularly relates to a THz broadband negative refractive index metamaterial structure based on dynamic regulation and control of equivalent energy levels.
Background art:
the THz wave has a great application value in the fields of biomedicine, national defense and military communication, security inspection nondestructive testing and the like because of having a plurality of unique properties such as instantaneity, low energy property, broadband property, extremely strong penetrating power of non-polar substances and the like. How to effectively regulate THz wave according to application requirements becomes a research focus in the related field, but the regulation of THz is limited due to the lack of modulators. The artificial composite metamaterial composed of sub-wavelength structural units in a certain arrangement mode is favored by researchers due to the unique electromagnetic response characteristic. The electromagnetic properties of the metamaterial mainly depend on the unit structure and the unit arrangement mode, but not on the properties of specific composition materials. Researches show that the metamaterial can realize negative refractive index which does not exist in nature, and the negative refractive index metamaterial has a series of abnormal phenomena including negative refraction effect, inverse Doppler effect, evanescent wave amplification and the like. However, the research of the THz negative refractive index metamaterial still faces many challenges, such as narrow bandwidth, difficulty in realizing dynamic regulation and the like. Therefore, the dynamically adjustable THz broadband negative refractive index metamaterial becomes a new research hotspot.
The main technical approach of dynamic regulation of the THz negative refractive index metamaterial is to add a semiconductor material or a diode in a structural unit or immerse a resonant structure in liquid crystal. However, the addition of diodes to the resonant structure greatly increases the processing cost, and the immersion of the resonant structure in liquid crystal limits the application range of the negative refractive index metamaterial. By adding the semiconductor material into the structural unit, the corresponding semiconductor material can be selected according to application requirements and a dynamic regulation and control mode, so that the dynamic regulation and control of the metamaterial can be realized. At present, the main design method of the negative refractive index metamaterial and the defects thereof are as follows: the negative refractive index is realized by combining the electric resonance unit and the magnetic resonance unit, but the bandwidth of the negative refractive index based on the method is narrow, so that the simultaneous dynamic regulation and control of the negative dielectric constant and the negative magnetic permeability are difficult to realize; secondly, the broadband negative-refractive-index metamaterial is realized through a multilayer fishing net structure, but the dynamic regulation and control of the negative refractive index are difficult to realize through a multilayer overlapping structure; and thirdly, the negative refractive index metamaterial is designed through a chiral structure, but the negative refractive index is narrow in bandwidth and difficult to realize dynamic control of chirality. In addition, although many different negative refractive index metamaterials have been proposed, these metamaterials are not universally applicable. Therefore, it is important to develop a broadband negative refractive index metamaterial with dynamic adjustability.
In summary, a THz broadband negative refractive index metamaterial structure based on dynamic regulation and control of equivalent energy levels is provided. The metamaterial can change the conductivity of a semiconductor material by selecting different external stimuli (voltage, temperature, light or pressure) so as to dynamically regulate and control the equivalent energy level of the metamaterial, thereby realizing the regulation and control of the broadband negative refractive index of the THz metamaterial. The metamaterial can select different regulation and control modes according to different application requirements, is flexible and changeable in resonance structure, and can be applied to other wave bands by regulating structural parameters.

The semiconductor annular round hole structure and the metal resonance structure have the same central symmetry axis, and the semiconductor structure completely covers the metal resonance structure. As an example, the period of the structural unit is 100 micrometers, the diameter of the metal circular ring is 70 micrometers, and the outer diameter and the hole width of the silicon circular hole are 96 micrometers and 12 micrometers respectively; the thickness of the semiconductor silicon annular round hole layer, the thickness of the metal round ring and the thickness of the Teflon dielectric layer are respectively 3.5 microns, 0.5 microns and 43 microns.

At this time, the resonance of the metamaterial may be equivalent to 2 equivalent energy levels.
Fig. 4 shows that when the metal circular ring structure is completely replaced by the annular circular hole structure, the resonance of the negative-refractive-index metamaterial is excited by the annular circular holes of the upper and lower layers. In order to better observe the resonance characteristics of the metamaterial with the annular circular hole structure, the material of the semiconductor hole structure is made of metal aluminum. The directions of currents on the surfaces of the upper metal circular hole and the lower metal circular hole are the same at the resonance frequency II-M, and magnetic response is enhanced, so that mutual inductance is enhanced; the directions of the upper surface current and the lower surface current are opposite at the resonance frequency II-E, and the magnetic response is weakened, so that the mutual inductance is weakened; the current directions of the inner side and the outer side of the annular circular hole structure are opposite, but the magnetic response is enhanced, so that the mutual inductance of the upper part and the lower part which are connected in parallel is enhanced. Thus, when the metallic ring resonant structure is completely replaced, the negative index metamaterial is tuned from 2 equivalent energy levels to 4 equivalent energy levels.
