Abstract
Tunable metasurfaces have attracted much attention recently, owing to their capability of actively controlling electromagnetic waves. Here, we propose tunable graphene-metal hybridized terahertz (THz) metasurfaces exhibiting plasmon induced transparency (PIT) effects, driven alternately by metal and graphene resonators. The proposed meta-molecule comprises a central metal (graphene) strip placed orthogonally to two side graphene (metal) strips. Then, near-field coupling between the strips is probed by translating the central strip along the length of the side strips and the evolution of the PIT effect is investigated for orthogonal polarizations of probing THz. The coupled oscillator-based analytical model explains the coupling mechanism in these metasystems. We observe the strongest coupling and the most prominent PIT effect for edge-to-edge coupling (threshold position) between the central and side strips. Further, active PIT response is achieved by altering graphene's Fermi energy. These metasurfaces can contribute in designing compact and active metasurface-based hybrid devices for THz domain.
