A reconfigurable terahertz polarization converter based on metal–graphene hybrid metasurface

A metal-graphene hybrid metasurface polarization converter is designed in this Letter.The unit cell of the hybrid metasurface is composed of a butterfly-shaped structure whose branches are connected by multi-layer graphene sheets.The proposed device can be reconfigured from linear-to-circular polarization to cross-polarization by changing the Fermi energy of graphene.The simulation results show that for three-layer graphene,the device acts as a linear-to-circular polarization converter when EF=0 eV and switches to a cross-polarization converter when EF=0.5 eV.Compared with single-layer graphene,the device with three-layer graphene can maintain the cross-polarization conversion performance under low Fermi energy.Furthermore,two equivalent circuits in the x and y directions are developed to understand the working mechanism of the device.

Dispersion characteristics of two-dimensional unmagnetized dielectric plasma photonic crystal

This paper studies dispersion characteristics of the transverse magnetic (TM) mode for two-dimensional unmagnetized dielectric plasma photonic crystal by a modified plane wave method. First, the cutoff behaviour is made clear by using the Maxwell--Garnett effective medium theory, and the influences of dielectric filling factor and dielectric constant on effective plasma frequency are analysed. Moreover, the occurence of large gaps in dielectric plasma photonic crystal is demonstrated by comparing the skin depth with the lattice constant, and the influence of plasma frequency on the first three gaps is also studied. Finally, by using the particle-in-cell simulation method, a transmission curve in the \Gamma -X direction is obtained in dielectric plasma photonic crystal, which is in accordance with the dispersion curves calculated by the modified plane wave method, and the large gap between the transmission points of 27~GHz and 47~GHz is explained by comparing the electric field patterns in particle-in-cell simulation.

该文提出了一种基于石墨烯的宽带可调谐吸波器,该器件是由网格型石墨烯结构、介质层及金属地板组成。采用CST软件对器件的性能进行了仿真分析,仿真结果显示,当石墨烯费米能级时,在2.97~3.74 THz内,器件对电磁波吸收率达90%。另一方面,器件的工作频率可通过改变石墨烯的费米能级进行动态调控。当石墨烯的费米能级从0.3 eV变到0.8 eV时,器件的工作频率在2.60~4.55 THz内调谐,相对调谐带宽为56%,且在整个调谐频率范围内,器件对电磁波的吸收率始终高于90%。此外,器件的工作性能对入射电磁波的偏振方向和入射角不敏感,因此,该器件在太赫兹成像、太赫兹检测和隐身技术等领域有潜在的应用价值。     

High-performance lens antenna using high refractive index metamaterials

In this paper, a high refractive index metamaterial(HRM), whose element is composed of bilayer square patch(BSP)spaced by a dielectric plate, is proposed. By reducing the thickness of the dielectric plate and the gap between adjacent patches, the BSP can effectively enhance capacitive coupling and simultaneously suppress diamagnetic response, which significantly increases the refractive index of the proposed metamaterial. Furthermore, the high refractive index region is far away from the resonant region of the metamaterial, resulting in broadband. Based on these characteristics of BSP, a gradient refractive index(GRIN) lens with thin thickness(0.34λ_0, where λ_0 is the wavelength at 5.75 GHz) is designed.By using this lens, we then design a circularly polarized horn antenna with high performance. The measurement results show that the 3-d B axial ratio bandwidth is 34.8%(4.75 GHz～ 6.75 GHz) and the antenna gain in this frequency range is increased by an average value of 3.4 dB. The proposed method opens up a new avenue to design high-performance antenna.

Three-dimensional simulation of Ka-band relativistic Cherenkov source with metal photonic-band-gap structures

This paper presents a three-dimensional particle-in-cell (PIC) simulation of a Ka-band relativistic Cherenkov source with a slow wave structure (SWS) consisting of metal photonic band gap (PBG) structures. In the simulation, a perfect match layer boundary is employed to absorb passing band modes supported by the PBG lattice with an artificial metal boundary. The simulated axial field distributions in the cross section and surface of the SWS demonstrate that the device operates in the vicinity of the π point of a TM01-like mode. The Fourier transformation spectra of the axial fields as functions of time and space show that only a single frequency appears at 36.27 GHz, which is in good agreement with that of the intersection of the dispersion curve with the slow space charge wave generated on the beam. The simulation results demonstrate that the SWS has good mode selectivity.
