Abstract

We demonstrate some metamaterials in the terahertz frequency regime fabricated on n-GaAs substrate. The artificially structured electromagnetic materials, which called metamaterials, has led to the realization of phenomena which cannot be obtained with natural materials. We have found many fundamental progress and applications of metamaterials in millimeter wave or microwave, and many usefully potential applications of terahertz as well, but still need considerable efforts to fill this “THz-gap” in future. Therefore, it is especially important to design the metamaterials device in the terahertz frequency regime. For the first, we analyze the split ring resonators(SRRs) model in theory, and many planar SRR arrays with different periodic structures have been designed for later testing, the planar SRR arrays are fabricated using conventional photolithography and electron-beam deposition of gold on n-GaAs substrate, the metal array and n- GaAs together form a Schottky contact. Then the influences of background substrate and the shapes of the SRRs on the terahertz resonance are experimentally investigated at several terahertz frequencies of continuous wave terahertz laser in turn, and all the transmission properties are recoded and analyzed. These metamaterials may be useful for future applications in the construction of various THz filters, THz antenna, or THz grid structures ideal for constructing THz switching devices.
