Abstract
Optically tunable negative refractive metamaterials composed of electric response split-ring resonator (eSRR) and magnetic response split-ring resonator (mSRR) are theoretically investigated in terahertz (THz) region. A negative refractive band is achieved when both the eSRR and mSRR are fabricated on one substrate. Meanwhile, the optically tunable response is realized by filling the photo conductive semiconductor GaAs in the capacitive regions of eSRR. The electric response frequency varies with the pump laser fluence, therefore, the electric response frequency is controlled to overlap with the magnetic response frequency, and the negative refractive of the metamaterials can be controlled flexibly. The extracted constitutive parameters illuminate that a bandwidth 60GHz of negative refractive is realized when eSRR and mSRR combine together (with no GaAs), while a negative band width 30GHz is realized at the same structure parameters (with GaAs) when the pump laser fluence increases to 0.4mJ/cm2. Furthermore, the transmission spectra changes from dual band to single band with the variation of pump laser fluence.
