However, BP-based PIT sensors typically suffer from poor tunability and low figures of merit (FOM). To overcome these limitations, this paper proposes a highly sensitive and tunable PIT terahertz metasurface based on a graphene-black phosphorus (GP-BP) hybrid structure. The metasurface comprises two identical patterned layers, each consisting of a cross-shaped resonator coupled with a closed rectangular ring resonator. Using finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) simulations, we demonstrate that the PIT transmission window arises from the coupling between the bright modes of these structures. By varying the ambient refractive index from 1.0 to 1.7, the metasurface achieves a maximum sensitivity of 4.22 THz/RIU and an FOM of 7.495 in the terahertz band. Furthermore, increasing electron doping in BP induces a significant red shift in the sensor's transmission spectrum. The PIT resonance frequency can also be dynamically modulated by adjusting the terahertz wave polarization and the graphene Fermi level. Additionally, the transmission spectrum exhibits minimal sensitivity to variations in the incident angle. These characteristics highlight the proposed sensor's significant potential for terahertz biosensing applications.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":19513,"journal":{"name":"Optik","volume":"337 ","pages":"Article 172458"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-06-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144470217","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}

Transparent FSSs are designed to function as spatial filters in electromagnetic environments where visibility is required—such as on building windows, vehicle glass, drone surfaces, and radomes. However, most existing research has concentrated on lower frequency bands (e.g., S-band and X-band), with relatively little attention paid to the mm-wave range (K and Ka bands), which is essential for next-generation 5 G communications. To address this gap, a double-layer FSS (D-FSS) is proposed, composed of two spatially separated single-layer FSSs (S-FSSs). This configuration substantially improves frequency selectivity and achieves a wide fractional bandwidth of 23.1 %, spanning 24.5–30.9 GHz—covering the n257 and n258 bands used in 5 G mm-wave systems. Each S-FSS consists of narrow, symmetrically arranged metallic lines that provide both excellent optical transparency—84 % for the S-FSS and 70 % for the D-FSS—and strong angular stability.
