Abstract
A metamaterial based on complementary planar doublesplitring resonator DSRR structure is presented and demonstrated which can optically tune the transmission of the terahertz THz wave Unlike the traditional DSRR metamaterials the DSRR discussed in this paper consists of two split rings connected by two bridges Numerical simulations with the finitedifference timedomain FDTD method reveal that the transmission spectra of the original and the complementary metamaterials are both in good agreement with Babinet’s principle Then by increasing the carrier density of the intrinsic GaAs substrate the magnetic response of the complementary special DSRR metamaterial can be weakened or even turned off This metamaterial structure is promised to be a narrowband THz modulator with response time of several nanosecondsThis work has been supported by the National High Technology Research and Development Program of China No2011AA010205 the National Natural Science Foundation of China Nos61171027 10904076 and 11274186 the Natural Science Foundation of Tianjin of China No10JCZDJC152000 and the Doctoral Fund of Ministry of Education of China No20090031110033
