Abstract

We experimentally demonstrate a micromachined switchable metamaterial with dual mode resonance which is induced at THz regime under oblique incidence. Here, we explore, both theoretically and experimentally, the dynamic dual mode switching by reshaping metamaterial elements using micromachined actuators. The mode switching allows robust control over the transmission and the reflection of the metamaterial at 0.76 THz and 1.16 THz. Such switchable dual mode metamaterial promises wide applications in optical switches, tunable filters, and THz detectors.
