Abstract :
Terahertz waves (0.1-10 THz) have promising applications in several fields including spectroscopy, imaging, and wireless communication [1]. However, several components still need to be developed for THz waves: a source, detector, filter, absorber, and modulator. In fact, an effective method for controlling THz waves has not been established yet.
