Abstract

This paper reports a micromachined metamaterial which is tunable between anisotropic and isotropic state. The tuning rescales the metamaterial lattice constant instead of changing the element structure. It realizes a resonance independent change of transmission and tunes the transmitted phase of polarized THz wave. The transmission decreases from 15% to 0 for circularly polarized wave and tunes transmitted phase up to tens of degrees for linearly polarized wave. The tunable metamaterial can be potentially applied as a THz switch, tunable attenuator and waveplate.
