Tunable Extraordinary THz Transmission Using Liquid Metal-Based Devices

In this paper, we report novel designs of tunable THz plasmonic devices based on liquid metals. The designed devices will be able to dynamically control and change the spectrum responses of extraordinary THz wave transmissions. Different THz device configurations are investigated, and numerical simulations have been conducted to theoretically verify the performance of the proposed structures. Moreover, an equivalent circuit model has been developed to describe the operating principle of the proposed THz devices. Good agreement has been achieved between the theoretical models and the numerical results. These new THz devices are expected to be applied in various areas of sensing, communication, and imaging.
