Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of terahertz wave applications, and provides a terahertz modulation device, specifically a light-controlled terahertz modulator based on a graphene / doped silicon composite double-layer structure. Background technique [0002] Terahertz wave (THz) refers to electromagnetic waves with a frequency in the range of 0.1THz-10THz (wavelength 0.03-3mm). Its band is located between microwave and infrared waves, and occupies an important position in the electromagnetic spectrum. the transition area. Terahertz waves have very important applications in the fields of wireless communication, non-destructive detection, security inspection, and radar imaging. In the terahertz application system, active control devices (activedevices) can realize a series of functions such as modulation, switching, attenuation, and steering of the terahertz beam, and are the core components of the construction of the terahertz application s...
