We theoretically study the plasmonic coupling between magnetic plasmon resonances (MPRs) and propagating surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) in a three-dimensional (3D) metamaterial consisting of vertical Au split-ring resonators (VSRRs) array on Au substrate. By placing the VSRRs directly onto the Au substrate to remove the dielectric substrates effect, the interaction between MPRs of VSRRs and the SPP mode on the Au substrate can generate an ultranarrow-band hybrid mode with full width at half maximum () of 2.2 nm and significantly enhanced magnetic fields, compared to that of VSRRs on dielectric substrates. Owing to the strong coupling, an anti-crossing effect similar to Rabi splitting in atomic physics is also obtained. Our proposed 3D metamaterial on a metal substrate shows high sensitivity ( = 830 nm/RIU) and figure of merit ( = 377), which could pave way for the label-free biomedical sensing.

This paper presents a slot antenna integrated with a split ring resonator (SRR) and feed line, designed to achieve a high Q-factor while maximizing channel capacity utilization. By incorporating a lens into the dielectric resonator antenna (DRA), we enhance both bandwidth and directivity, with the dielectric material's permittivity serving as a key control parameter for radiation characteristics. We explore water and ethanol as controllable dielectrics within the terahertz (THz) frequency range (0.

Biosensors operating in the terahertz (THz) region are gaining substantial interest in biomedical analysis due to their significant potential for high-sensitivity trace-amount solution detection. However, progress in compact, high-sensitivity chips and methods for simple, rapid and trace-level measurements is limited by the spatial resolution of THz waves and their strong absorption in polar solvents. In this work, a compact nonlinear optical crystal (NLOC)-based reflective THz biosensor with a few arrays of asymmetrical meta-atoms was developed.

Terahertz (THz) trace fingerprint detection is essential for identifying the characteristic biomolecular absorption fingerprints from inherent molecular rotational and vibrational modes. Plasmonic THz resonance shows a way to enhance the recognition of biomolecular absorption fingerprint spectra. In this research, we experimentally demonstrate a broadband THz fingerprint metasensor based on a pixelated toroidal metasurface, showcasing excellent capabilities in biochemical trace detection.

Electromagnetic metamaterials have demonstrated immense potential in the development of novel high-temperature wave-transparent materials, yet the requirements of their intricate structural design and strict stability pose dual challenges, particularly in high-speed radome applications. A strategy involving the synergistic modulation of boron nitride (BN) by dual metallic elements of Ca and Al (0.5Ca-0.

Achieving independent multitasked wavefront control by using an ultrathin plate is a challenge to increase information capacity in integration optics and radar applications. Transmission-reflection-integrated metasurface provides an efficient recipe primarily for multifunctional meta-device, however it is challenging to synergize both linear polarization (LP) and circular polarization (CP) using a single meta-plate. Here, a multichannel full-space coding metasurface composed of interleaved shared-aperture meta-atom is proposed to achieve large information capacity by capsulating judiciously engineered high efficiency triple sub-elements (modes) in four-layer scheme.
