Abstract

The dynamic tuning of terahertz (THz) electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) offers significant potential in rapidly changing THz regulation fields, such as the next generation wireless communication, switching, and sensing. In this work, we demonstrate a THz EIT metamaterial by combining a circular and a rectangular split-ring resonator (CSRR and RSRR) based on the bright-bright mode coupling. The introduction of graphene into the EIT structure enables active tuning, and reveals two distinct regulation mechanisms in the metal-graphene hybrid EIT metamaterial: 1. the internal coupling effect diminishes with the increase of the Fermi level in the CSRR-graphene integration; 2. the surface electric field undergoes redistribution in the RSRR-graphene integration. These two dynamic regulation mechanisms are well confirmed by the simulated electric field distribution. As a result, the transmittance within the EIT window of the hybrid metamaterial can be precisely modulated, exhibiting a significant modulation depth of >85%. Notably, the integration with graphene in the RSRR allows for simultaneous modulation of resonances on either side of the EIT peaks, which expands more THz modulation channels. This work enriches the design and implementation methods for active THz EIT and shows potential applications in THz dynamic application scenarios.
