Triple plasmon-induced transparency and dynamically tunable electro-optics switch based on a multilayer patterned graphene metamaterial

A terahertz-band metamaterial composed of multilayer patterned graphene is proposed and triple plasmoninduced transparency is excited by coupling three bright modes with one dark mode. The Lorentz curve calculated by the coupled-mode theory agrees well with the finite-difference time-domain results. Dynamic tuning is investigated by changing the Fermi level. Multimode electro-optics switching can be designed and achieved, and the amplitude modulations of four resonance frequencies are 94.3%, 92.8%, 90.7%, and 93%, respectively, which can realize the design of synchronous and asynchronous electro-optics switches. It is hoped that these results can provide theoretical support and guidance for the future design and application of photonic and optoelectronic devices. (c) 2022 Optica Publishing Group
