We experimentally and theoretically demonstrated an approach to achieve multispectral plasmon-induced transparency (PIT) by utilizing meta-molecules that consist of hyperfine terahertz meta-atoms. The feature size of such hyperfine meta-atoms is 400 nm, which is one order smaller than that of normal terahertz metamaterials. The hyperfine meta-atoms with close eigenfrequencies and narrow resonant responses introduce different metastable energy levels, which makes the multispectral PIT possible. In the triple PIT system, the slow light effect is further confirmed as the effective group delay at three transmission windows can reach 7.3 ps, 7.4 ps and 4.5 ps, respectively. Precisely controllable manipulation of the PIT peaks in such hyperfine meta-molecules was also proven. The new hyperfine planar design is not only suitable for high-integration applications, but also exhibits significant slow light effect, which has great potential in advanced multichannel optical information processing. Moreover, it reveals the possibility to construct hyperfine N-level energy systems by artificial hyperfine plasmonic structures, which brings a significant prospect for applications on miniaturized plasmonic devices.

Due to the low photon energy, detection of infrared photons is challenging at room temperature. Thermoelectric effect offers an alternative mechanism bypassing material bandgap restriction. In this article, we demonstrate an asymmetric plasmon-induced hot-carrier Seebeck photodetection scheme at room temperature that exhibits a remarkable responsivity of 2900 VW, detectivity of 1.

In this Letter, we theoretically investigate and demonstrate a dynamically tunable, multichannel PIT at optical frequencies. The in-plane destructive interference between bright and dark dipolar resonances in coupled plasmonic nanobar topologies is exploited to produce a tunable PIT with unique characteristics.

View Article and Find Full Text PDFA dynamically wavelength tunable multispectral plasmon induced transparency (PIT) device based on graphene metamaterials, which is composed of periodically patterned graphene double layers separated by a dielectric layer, is proposed theoretically and numerically in the terahertz frequency range. Considering the near-field coupling of different graphene layers and the bright-dark mode coupling in the same graphene layer, the coupled Lorentz oscillator model is adapted to explain the physical mechanism of multispectral EIT-like responses. The simulated transmission based on the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) solutions indicates that the shifting and depth of the EIT resonances in multiple PIT windows are controlled by different geometrical parameters and Fermi energies distributions.
