摘要: 超材料吸波器作为近些年来的热门研究课题,在探测、光伏等领域取得了广泛应用,但也存在着器件吸收频率固定的缺陷,所以在频率可调谐方面存在迫切需求。本文提出了一种多/宽带可调谐的双功能太赫兹超材料吸波器。基于相变材料二氧化钒(VO2),通过调节温度,改变电导率,VO2在绝缘态和金属态之间相互转换,实现了吸波器的多/宽带可调谐吸收。仿真结果表明,在2~8 THz频段范围内,当VO2处于绝缘态时,该器件实现了四频带吸收,吸收率均大于97%;当VO2处于金属态时,实现了一条吸收率超过60%的宽带吸收。此外,本文还讨论了结构参数对超材料吸波器吸收率的影响,分析了该器件的极化不敏感特性以及广角入射吸收特性等。该研究对于设计新型可调谐超材料吸波器及其在传感中的应用具有重要意义。
Abstract: Metamaterial absorbers, as a popular research topic in recent years, have been widely applied in fields such as detection and photovoltaics. However, they also have the defect of fixed absorption frequency, so there is an urgent need for frequency tunability. A multi-/broadband tunable dual-function terahertz metamaterial absorber is proposed in this paper. Based on the phase-change material vanadium dioxide (VO2), the absorber achieves multi-/broadband tunable absorption by adjusting temperature to vary conductivity, enabling VO2 to transition between insulating and metallic states. Simulation results demonstrate that within the frequency range of 2~8 THz, the device exhibits quad-band absorption with each absorption rate exceeding 97% when VO2 is in the insulating state, while achieving a broadband absorption with over 60% absorption efficiency when VO2 is in the metallic state. Additionally, this paper discusses the influence of structural parameters on the absorption performance of the metamaterial absorber and analyzes its polarization-insensitive characteristics as well as wide-angle incidence absorption properties. This research is of great significance for designing novel tunable metamaterial absorbers and their applications in sensing.
