Abstract
In this paper, we propose a new feasible split ring resonators (SRR) metamaterial structure that can be used for all-optical switch in terahertz frequency range. We use metallic nanocomposite as nonlinear material for Kerr effect based switch that makes it low threshold and high speed switch. Our results show a tunable frequency switch because of SRR metamaterial structure dimensions and metallic nanocomposite parameters.
