Abstract
Terahertz electromagnetic waves are widely used in various fields, but their practical application often suffers from significant interfacial losses. In this paper, we present a terahertz antireflection film based on an all-dielectric metasurface consisting of a zirconia microsphere array assembled using a template-assisted method. Simulations and experiments show that the film has a broadband, outstanding transmission-enhancing effect. Because the antireflection film has the advantages of ultralow cost, high compatibility, flexibility, and easy industrialization, it may have potential applications in various fields.
期刊介绍:
Breakthroughs in the generation of light and in its control and utilization have given rise to the field of Photonics, a rapidly expanding area of science and technology with major technological and economic impact. Photonics integrates quantum electronics and optics to accelerate progress in the generation of novel photon sources and in their utilization in emerging applications at the micro and nano scales spanning from the far-infrared/THz to the x-ray region of the electromagnetic spectrum. IEEE Photonics Journal is an online-only journal dedicated to the rapid disclosure of top-quality peer-reviewed research at the forefront of all areas of photonics. Contributions addressing issues ranging from fundamental understanding to emerging technologies and applications are within the scope of the Journal. The Journal includes topics in: Photon sources from far infrared to X-rays, Photonics materials and engineered photonic structures, Integrated optics and optoelectronic, Ultrafast, attosecond, high field and short wavelength photonics, Biophotonics, including DNA photonics, Nanophotonics, Magnetophotonics, Fundamentals of light propagation and interaction; nonlinear effects, Optical data storage, Fiber optics and optical communications devices, systems, and technologies, Micro Opto Electro Mechanical Systems (MOEMS), Microwave photonics, Optical Sensors.
