Description
Summary:This letter presents a fabricated Dirac point modulator of a graphene-based terahertz electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT)-like metasurface (GrE & MS). Dynamic modulation is realized by applying three stimulus modes of optical pump, bias voltage, and optical pump–bias voltage combination. With increasing luminous flux or bias voltage, the transmission amplitude undergoes two stages: increasing and decreasing, because the graphene Fermi level shifts between the valence band, Dirac point, and conduction band. Thus, an approximate position of the Dirac point can be evaluated by the transmission spectrum fluctuation. The maximum modulation depth is measured to be 182% under 1 V. These findings provide a method for designing ultrasensitive terahertz modulation devices.
