Terahertz Absorbing Metamaterials for detection systems

这份报告探讨了超材料在未来太赫兹探测系统中的潜在用途。通过设计一种超材料，实现太赫兹的近单位吸收，将有可能创建宽带和精确的探测器。这类设备可以用于光谱测量以及已经使用太赫兹频率的行业内的潜在应用，例如皮肤病学，医疗成像和制药行业以及安全和通信。这份报告研究了超材料结构的设计和模拟，以找到不同设计和配置的最佳吸收，研究发现，利用开口环谐振器超材料可以实现单位吸收。该项目的目的是设计超材料探测器的太赫兹应用与改进的响应时间和灵敏度.

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.
