Tunable Metamaterials for Controlling THz Radiation

Abstract

Remarkable progress in terahertz (THz) sources and detectors is followed by the necessity of manipulating of terahertz radiation. Since natural materials can not perform efficient interaction with THz radiation, artificial structures called metamaterials are designed to overcome “THz gap” in this area. A variety of tunable metamaterials using different methods of control are presented and discussed in this review paper.
