Abstract
In this study we investigated a novel approach to designing a graphene metamaterial (GMM) based terahertz (THz) absorber with dual-mode functionality, tunability, and broadband absorption capabilities. The study leverages the unique properties of graphene, a material known for its exceptional electronic and optical characteristics, combined with metamaterials to achieve efficient THz absorption. Here we performed extensive simulation on four different types of configurations and found the optimized structure has the highest bandwidth of 3.8 THz and absorption over 90 %. The absorber is designed to operate in two distinct modes, enhancing its versatility for different applications in the THz spectrum. Moreover, the tunability of the absorber is a significant feature, allowing for dynamic adjustment of the absorption frequency, which is crucial for applications in THz imaging, sensing, and communication systems. The broadband nature of the absorber ensures effective performance over a wide range of frequencies, addressing the need for flexible and high-performance devices in emerging THz technologies. This work represents a significant advancement in the field of THz metamaterials, with potential implications for the development of next-generation THz devices.
