This report looks into the potential uses of meta-materials in future detection systemsfor terahertz. By designing a meta-material which achieves near unity absorption of terahertzit would be possible to create both broadband and precise detectors. Devices suchas these could be used in spectroscopy measurements as well as potential applicationswithin industry where terahertz frequencies are already used, such as dermatology, medicalimaging and the pharmaceutical industry as well as security and communication.This report looks into the design and of the simulations of meta-material structures tofind optimal absorption for different designs and configurations, It is found it is possibleto achieve unity absorption using split ring resonator meta-materials. The aim of thisproject are to design meta-material detectors for terahertz applications with improvedresponse time and sensitivity.
