Abstract

The terahertz detection sensitivity interaction with other substances has received extensive attention and remains challenging due to the loss of terahertz waves. Herein, a terahertz, multiband sensor with high sensitivity based on the local enhancement effect of an electric field at terahertz frequency is proposed. The designed terahertz sensor is based on a common metamaterial sandwich absorber of electromagnetic energy that only employs an asymmetric metallic strip, which produces three resonance peaks with an absorption coefficient of greater than 95% in the 0.2-1.5 THz range and a maximum Q -factor of 46 at 1.397. Based on the principle of impedance matching, the high absorption of electromagnetic wave energy is reasonably analyzed. Furthermore, the influence of the top metal structure on the absorptivity and resonance frequency is analyzed by simulation optimization, and the optimum structural parameters are obtained. In addition, the influence of the refractive index (RI) change of the sample and dielectric layer on the resonance characteristics of the sensor is analyzed. When the thickness of the surface sample of the terahertz sensor metamaterial-based absorber is changed so that the RI changes in 1-2, the RI sensitivity increases up to 208 GHz/RIU, which can be used as an RI sensor. Furthermore, the influence of the sensor sensitivity and reflection coefficient on the thickness parameters of the sample covered by the sensor surface is analyzed, and the optimal sample thickness is 6 μm. The influence of the incident angle of the THz wave on the detection performance in the TM polarization mode is analyzed, and it is determined that the change in the incident angle in the range of 0-40 degrees has minimal influence on the resonance peak and absorption rate of multiband detection. Therefore, we suggest that our proposed sensor has considerable potential in biomedicine and trace detection applications.
