Problems solved by technology

However, when applied to the terahertz frequency band, on the one hand, the commonly used transparent conductive film indium tin oxide will no longer be applicable, and a simple metal layer cannot meet the requirements, so it is necessary to seek a new electrode design
On the other hand, the birefringence of most liquid crystal materials will be relatively small in the terahertz frequency band, so the adjustable amount is also small, and it is difficult to meet practical requirements in general design
And some special means to increase the amount of modulation, such as stacked structures, etc., will seriously increase the loss under the condition of lack of transparent electrodes.
