We modeled the SDI as a multilayer system of randomly distributed FP interferometers, each characterized by a different refractive index and length. The reflectance and transmittance of the multilayer structure were numerically calculated using Fresnel reflection and the standard two-mirror FP transmission formula. This approach enables the calculation of the spectral characteristics of the interferometer under the assumption of single reflections at each layer surface. For simplicity, all layer boundaries were assumed to be flat and orthogonal to the beam propagation axis, aligning with the typical configuration of real systems. A superposition of all possible multiply reflected beams was analyzed using a general theory for multi-mirror interferometers.

However, designing wireless devices for this band requires meeting stringent criteria such as sustainability, environmental resilience, flexibility, and cost-effectiveness. These challenges have driven the exploration of new materials and advanced design strategies to optimize performance while fulfilling these essential requirements. This study presents the design of a THz antenna that integrates Metamaterial (MTM) structures, 2 × 2 Split-Ring Resonator (SRR) arrays, and Photonic Band Gap (PBG) structures to enhance its overall performance. The proposed rectangular loop antenna, featuring compact dimensions of 240 µm × 230 µm × 45 µm for Kapton and 255 µm × 355 µm × 45 µm for Quartz Fabric, exhibits a multiband response with distinct resonances centered at 0.47 THz, 0.85 THz, and 1.1 THz for the Kapton-based design, and at 0.5 THz and 0.88 THz for the Quartz Fabric-based design. These responses effectively cover the 0.4–1.2 THz frequency range. The multiband behavior of the antenna significantly broadens its potential applications across various fields, including biomedical imaging, security and threat detection, THz spectroscopy, THz communications, non-destructive testing (NDT), and agriculture and food quality monitoring. Furthermore, the use of environmentally friendly and cost-effective materials, such as single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs), offers a promising pathway toward the development of sustainable, high-performance antennas. The antenna exhibits excellent impedance matching, with S11 values ensuring efficient energy transfer and minimal reflection across the operating frequency range. A comprehensive parametric study reveals significant bandwidth improvements, with Kapton achieving a bandwidth of 45–51 GHz and a realized gain of 2.95 dBi, while Quartz Fabric achieves 45–48 GHz with a realized gain of 3.71 dBi. These results confirm that the integration of MTM and PBG structures substantially enhances the antenna’s performance in terms of bandwidth, gain, and efficiency.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":19513,"journal":{"name":"Optik","volume":"337 ","pages":"Article 172464"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144514052","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By systematically calculating and comparing their reflectance spectra to conventional periodic designs using CAMFR software for rigorous numerical simulations, this research demonstrates significant improvements in tailoring optical responses. A key finding is that aperiodic structures generate multiple sharp reflection peaks when compared to periodic ones. Increasing the order of these aperiodic sequences amplifies the number of reflection peaks, enabling multi-wavelength selectivity. Furthermore, enhancing the number of periods 1 to 4 within these sequences sharpens peak widths and boosts reflectance intensity, with Double-Period structures achieving the highest reflectivity up to 25%.

Our innovative vertical coupling design enhances the interaction between plasmonic and dielectric layers, leading to superior mode confinement and substantially reduced propagation losses. The state-of-the-art design achieves remarkable performance, with ultra-low propagation losses of 0.004 dB/μm over a propagation length of 790 μm at a wavelength of 1.35 μm, and 0.0007 dB/μm over a propagation length of 5330 μm at a wavelength of 1.65 μm.
