In Minkowski space, an electromagnetic wave propagating in a homogeneous medium follows a light-like trajectory (world line). Here, we explore electromagnetic wave scattering at general discontinuities in Minkowski space, corresponding to change in the medium parameters in spacetime. The analysis reveals similarities and differences in wave scattering between spatial and temporal discontinuities. In both cases, a frequency shift (spatial and temporal, respectively) takes place, while in a medium with temporal discontinuities multiple reflections do not occur due to causality.","PeriodicalId":6625,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE MTT-S International Microwave Workshop Series on Advanced Materials and Processes for RF and THz Applications (IMWS-AMP)","volume":"170 1","pages":"1-3"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85078620","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, active devices including modulators and switches have been intensively studied in the THz regime. However, till now these devices still cannot meet the demands of THz systems. In this article we demonstrate an effective, ultra-fast and all electronic grid-controlled THz modulator, which combines an equivalent collective dipolar metamaterial array with an AlGaN/GaN hetero structure. By controlling the carrier concentration of two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) of the modulator, we realize a resonant mode conversion with blue-shift that significantly improves the modulation speed and depth. This THz modulator achieved 1 GHz modulation speed and 67% modulation depth in real-time dynamic test. Moreover, a 1.19 rad phase shift has also been realized. This active metamaterial modulator can be applied as an effectively and ultra-fast dynamic device in THz wireless communication systems.","PeriodicalId":6625,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE MTT-S International Microwave Workshop Series on Advanced Materials and Processes for RF and THz Applications (IMWS-AMP)","volume":"1 1","pages":"1-3"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76781826","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
