The invention discloses a bandwidth adjustable
liquid crystal terahertz wave plate based on a
porous graphene transparent
electrode. Sub-
wavelength metal wire gratings are arranged on the inner side of a substrate of an incidence surface,
porous graphene is arranged on the inner side of a substrate on an
exit surface, and the two substrates made of
fused quartz are sealed and combined to form a
liquid crystal box. Two light-control orientation
layers are sandwiched between the
metal wire gratings and the
porous graphene in the
liquid crystal box, liquid
crystal materials are sandwiched between the two light-control orientation
layers, and the liquid
crystal materials are terahertz electronic control large
birefringence liquid
crystal materials. Parallel orientation of liquid crystals is achieved in the liquid crystal box through the mode of light-control orientation, and a 45-degree included angle is formed between the orientation direction and the direction of the
metal wire gratings. According to the bandwidth adjustable liquid crystal terahertz wave plate based on the porous
graphene transparent
electrode, the electronic control
birefringence characteristic of the liquid crystals is used, phase
delay of ordinary light and extraordinary light is regulated through
voltage to correspond to specific wave plates with different frequencies, and the bandwidth adjustable liquid crystal terahertz wave plate has the advantages of being superwide in
frequency band, capable of achieving automatic polarization, high in
transmittance, large in modulation amount, rapid in response and the like and can be widely applied in the booming terahertz field.
