▎ 摘  要

A terahertz multifunction modulator composed of upper-layer double graphene ribbons and lower-layer a graphene strip, which can generate a Fano resonance produced by hybrid between a broad mode and a narrow mode, is proposed to realize electro-optical switch and filtering function. The electric field distribution, hybrid theory, and quantum level theory are all employed to explain the Fano resonance, whose transmission spectra are fitted by coupled mode theory. In comparison to other graphene-based terahertz modulators, the amplitude modulation degree can reach 99.57%, meaning an excellent electro-optical switch can be realized. Moreover, the extinction ratio of Fano resonance can reach 99.70%, demonstrating an unparalleled electro-optical filter is implemented. Finally, variations in the lateral and longitudinal lengths of the lower-layer a graphene strip enable excellent dual-band, triple-band filters. Thus, this work provides a new way to implement terahertz multi-function modulators.
