摘要:
利用太赫兹波段独特的指纹谱可以实现有机大分子的快速检测识别，然而微量物质的太赫兹吸收谱测量仍非常有挑战性。本文针对微量有机物，提出了一种基于介质超表面角度复用的太赫兹吸收谱增强检测方案。其中超表面衬底和十字单元结构均为高阻硅，具有高
Q 谐振特性。不同太赫兹波入射角对应的超表面响应曲线上的谐振峰频率可覆盖0.50~0.57 THz。超表面上覆盖0.5~2.5 µm乳糖薄膜作为待测物时，各入射角度对应的谐振峰幅度随待测物的吸收谱大幅度改变，其包络线组成的吸收谱峰值比没有十字单元结构时最多增强可达82.59倍。仿真结果表明该介质超表面经过角度复用可在宽带范围内有效增强太赫兹吸收谱，经过优化设计可用于检测不同特征峰微量有机物质。Abstract:The rapid detection and identification of organic macromolecules can be realized by using the unique fringerprint spectrum of the terahertz band, but the measurement of terahertz absorption spectrum of trace analyte is still challenging. We proposed a detection scheme of enhancement of terahertz absorption spectrum for trace organic analyte based on angle multiplexing of the dielectric metasurface. The substrate and the cross-unit structure of metasurface are both high-resistance silicon which has high-
Q resonances. The resonance frequency of the metasurface under terahertz incident with different angles can cover 0.50−0.57 THz. When a lactose film with the thickness of 0.5−2.5 μm as analyte is placed on the metasurface, the amplitude of the resonance peak corresponding to each incident angle changes greatly with the absorption spectrum of the analyte. The enhanced absorption spectrum built by the resonance frequencies envelope is 82.59 times larger than that without the cross-unit structure. The simulation results show that the metasurface has great potential to enhance the terahertz absorption spectrum through angle multiplexing, and it can be used to detect trace organic substances with different characteristic peaks after optimized design.-
