▎ 摘  要

An hybrid graphene/metamaterial(MM) structure by directly depositing single-layer graphene on bottom of a SiO2/Si substrate of the electric ring resonators is proposed and theoretically investigated in the terahertz(THz) region. Our calculated results show that the presence of the graphene strongly changes the THz MM transmittance in the frequency range from 0.1 to 1.7 THz, and a modulation depth of 80% or above is reached on the whole frequency range except a narrow band. The tunability of the proposed structure is mainly dependent on the transmission bands between two neighboring resonance frequencies, which is different from the conventional graphene MM structure based on single resonance dip. Moreover, the energy absorption in graphene layer plays an important role in THz wave modulation. This easy-to-fabricate structure shows potential applications in developing broadband transmission modulators and sensors.
