太赫兹技术已经成为涉及公共安全、军事国防和国民经济等国家核心利益的前沿研究领域.以往太赫兹测量技术中通常以远场测量为主,如常用的太赫兹时域光谱仪.近年来太赫兹近场技术得到了迅猛的发展,特别是基于光导天线的探针技术的发展,为可扫描的太赫兹近场测量提供了可能.本文详细报道了我们近期在可扫描太赫兹近场光谱仪研究中的进展.采用光纤耦合的光导微探针实现了方便灵活的太赫兹近场/远场三维扫描,并同时获得振幅和相位信息.该系统将有可能广泛应用于人工微结构、石墨烯、表面等离子激元、波导传输、近场成像、生物样品检测、芯片检测等研究领域.     

New assembly route for three-dimensional metamaterials obtained through effective medium theory

In this study,we illustrate the effective medium theories in the designs of three-dimensional composite metamaterials of both negative permittivity and negative permeability.The proposed metamaterial consists of random coated spheres with sizes smaller compared to the wavelength embedded in a dielectric host.Simple design rules and formulas following the effective medium models are numerically and analytically presented.We demonstrate that the revised Maxwell-Garnett effective medium theory enables us to design three-dimensional composite metamaterials through the assembly of coated spheres which are random and much smaller than the wavelength of the light.The proposed approach allows for the precise control of the permittivity and the permeability and guides a facile,flexible,and versatile way for the fabrication of composite metamaterials.

Analysis of terahertz waveguide modes in continuous wavelet domain

Conventional analytical methods in the wavelet domain are used to present an analysis of terahertz (THz) waveguide modes.To obtain THz radiation pulses passing through a waveguide,we build a simple experimental system with a 5-mm-long,230-μm-inner-diameter stainless steel waveguide.The single-mode guided signal from the experiments and the multi-mode signal of a similar THz waveguide reported in the literature are analyzed using the continuous wavelet transform (CWT).The results demonstrate that analyzing THz waveguide modes in the wavelet domain not only possesses all the functionality of the traditional THz time-domain spectroscopy (TDS) data processing but also has the ability to unscramble quantitatively and intuitively detailed information about the target samples,such as mode type,cut-off frequency,amplitude distinction,and group velocity.     

Equivalent circuit analysis of terahertz metamaterial filters

An equivalent circuit model for the analysis and design of terahertz (THz) metamaterial filters is presented.The proposed model,derived based on LMC equivalent circuits,takes into account the detailed geometrical parameters and the presence of a dielectric substrate with the existing analytic expressions for self-inductance,mutual inductance,and capacitance.The model is in good agreement with the experimental measurements and full-wave simulations.Exploiting the circuit model has made it possible to predict accurately the resonance frequency of the proposed structures and thus,quick and accurate process of designing THz device from artificial metamaterials is offered.
