Comparison of Birefringent Metamaterials and Meanderline Structure as Quarter-Wave Plates at Terahertz Frequencies (2008)

Strikwerda, Andrew C., Fan, Kebin, Tao, Hu, Pilon, Daniel V., Zhang, Xin, Averitt, Richard D.

We have fabricated a quarter-wave plate from a single layer birefringent metamaterial. For comparison, an appropriately scaled double layer meanderline structure was fabricated. At the design...

Planar wallpaper group metamaterial for novel terahertz applications (2008)

Bingham, Christopher M., Tao, Hu, Liu, Xianliang, Averitt, Richard D., Zhang, Xin, Padilla, Willie J.

We present novel metamaterial structures based upon various planar wallpaper groups, in both hexagonal and square unit cells. An investigation of metamaterials consisting of one, two, and three...

Highly-flexible wide angle of incidence terahertz metamaterial absorber (2008)

Tao, Hu, Bingham, C. M., Strikwerda, A. C., Pilon, D., Shrekenhamer, D., Landy, N. I., ...

We present the design, fabrication, and characterization of a metamaterial absorber which is resonant at terahertz frequencies. We experimentally demonstrate an absorptivity of 0.97 at 1.6 terahertz....

A metamaterial absorber for the terahertz regime: Design, fabrication and characterization (2008)

Tao, Hu, Landy, Nathan I., Bingham, Christopher M., Zhang, Xin, Averitt, Richard D., Padilla, Willie J.

We present a metamaterial that acts as a strongly resonant absorber at terahertz frequencies. Our design consists of a bilayer unit cell which allows for maximization of the absorption through...
