Abstract
Hybrid graphene-metal gratings with tunable Fano resonance are proposed and theoretically investigated in THz band. The grating contains alternately aligned metal and graphene stripes, which could be viewed as the superposition of two kinds of gratings with the same period. Due to different material properties, the resonance coupling between the metal and graphene parts forms typical Fano-type transmitting spectra. The related physical mechanism is studied by inspecting the induced dipole moment and local surface charge distributions at different wavelengths. Both of the resonance amplitude and frequency of the structure thus are adjustable by tuning graphene's Fermi energy and the grating's geometrical parameters. Furthermore, the Fano-type spectra are also quite sensitive to environmental indices, which supply another kind of tunability. All these features should have promising applications in tunable THz filters, switches, and modulators.
