Description
Summary:We demonstrate a reconfigurable beam steerable meta-surface through a graphene-biased slot-array over a grounded quartz substrate. More specifically, the graphene meta-elements can be dynamically tuned to program the radiations by applying adequate DC bias voltages to different gating pads, capable of turning on or off the releasing slots of the guided fields as adjustable switches. In particular, such a graphene-biased terahertz meta-surface will achieve a wide-angle steerable beam at a fixed frequency and the scanning directions can further be modulated when varying the frequency at a certain state of the graphene, thus should pave the way for building up more advanced reconfigurable transceivers and sensors in terahertz wireless electronics.
