Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of terahertz regulation technology, and in particular relates to a multi-band terahertz energy collector with a nested octagonal structure. Background Art

[0002] Terahertz waves are electromagnetic waves with frequencies between approximately 0.1 and 10 THz. With the continuous development of emerging terahertz science and technology, their applications have expanded to nondestructive testing, security inspections, radar detection, medical imaging, broadband communications, and more. The richness of frequency information contained in the terahertz band and its unique spectral characteristics make it a significant advantage in accurately detecting small targets. Therefore, developing energy harvesting devices specifically designed for the terahertz band to fully utilize its high-frequency characteristics has become a crucial research task.

[0003] Currently, terahertz energy harvesting devices based on metasurfaces have been developed. These harvesters convert the energy of incident terahertz waves into other energies and dissipate them by stimulating localized surface plasmon resonance on the surface of the material, thereby achieving selective absorption of specific terahertz frequency bands.

[0004] Metasurfaces are a new type of artificially designed material. As a two-dimensional form of metamaterial, metasurfaces are composed of a large number of periodically arranged subwavelength-scale metastructured unit structures. The above-mentioned metastructured unit structures can precisely control the propagation characteristics of electromagnetic waves such as reflection, refraction, polarization and phase. The emergence of metasurfaces provides unprecedented flexibility and precision for the manipulation of electromagnetic waves (i.e., the absorption of electromagnetic wave energy), giving it broad application prospects in sensing, non-destructive testing and antennas. With the advancement of materials science and micro-nano manufacturing technology, the design and manufacture of metasurfaces have become more feasible, providing possibilities for the practical application of metasurfaces.

[0005] Despite significant advances in existing metasurface technology, terahertz energy harvesters still face challenges in practical applications. Multi-band terahertz energy harvesters can increase selectivity, facilitating precise selection of terahertz waves within the desired frequency band. However, existing technologies currently only absorb a limited range of terahertz waves, and the bandwidth of each absorbable frequency band is relatively narrow, directly impacting energy absorption efficiency, loss, and utilization.

[0006] In summary, there is an urgent need to carry out research on energy harvesting devices that can achieve multi-band terahertz absorption to meet the needs of energy harvesting, non-destructive testing, and super-resolution imaging. Summary of the Invention

[0007] In view of this, the present invention provides a multi-band terahertz energy harvester with a nested octagonal structure, which can achieve selective absorption of terahertz energy in any multiple frequency bands in the frequency range of 0-8THz, while increasing the bandwidth of each absorption band, thereby improving energy absorption efficiency and reducing loss.

[0008] The present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0009] A multi-band terahertz energy harvester with a nested octagonal structure, comprising: a plurality of periodically arranged resonant cavities;

[0010] Each of the resonant cavities comprises a reflective bottom plate, an intermediate dielectric layer, a metasurface, and a top dielectric layer, which are arranged in sequence from bottom to top;

[0011] The metasurface is laid on the intermediate dielectric layer; a nested octagonal structure is provided on the metasurface, the nested octagonal structure comprising: an outer octagonal ring with the same centroid, an inner octagonal ring, and a pattern based on a regular polygon structure;

[0012] The inner octagonal ring is set outside the geometric pattern;

[0013] The outer octagonal ring is sleeved outside the inner octagonal ring, and the eight sides of the outer octagonal ring are respectively parallel to the eight sides of the inner octagonal ring.

[0014] Furthermore, the outer peripheral surfaces of the four oblique sides B of the outer octagonal ring are in a step-like structure.

[0015] Furthermore, the inner circumference of the four oblique sides A of the inner octagonal ring has a step-like structure.

[0016] Furthermore, the pattern in each resonant cavity is any one of a regular octagon, a hexagram, and an octagonal star.

[0017] Furthermore, when the pattern is a hexagram, each vertex angle is 60°.

[0018] Furthermore, when the pattern is an octagonal star, each vertex angle is 90°.

[0019] Furthermore, it includes: resonant cavities of two or more structural forms;

[0020] The patterns of the resonant cavities of different structural forms are different.

[0021] Furthermore, the collection frequency band and the bandwidth of the corresponding frequency band can be adjusted by changing the array form, changing the pattern, or changing the surface resistance of the metasurface.

[0041] The present invention is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0042] Example 1:

[0043] This embodiment provides a multi-band terahertz energy harvester with a nested octagonal structure. The cavities are periodically arranged in an m×n array, where m represents the number of rows and n represents the number of columns. Both m and n are arbitrary natural numbers. Each pair of adjacent cavities is aligned with each other.

[0044] like Figure 1 As shown, each resonant cavity includes: a reflective bottom plate 1, an intermediate dielectric layer 2, a metasurface 3 and a top dielectric layer 4.

[0045] In actual use, the reflective base plate 1 is not limited to be located at the bottom.

[0046] The reflective bottom plate 1 is a conductive film with a surface resistance of 13Ω / sq.

[0047] The intermediate dielectric layer 2 is arranged above the reflective base plate 1 and is a FEP film (ie, a fluorinated ethylene propylene copolymer film) having a dielectric constant of 2.1.

[0048] The metasurface 3 is laid on the intermediate dielectric layer 2. A nested octagonal structure is provided on the metasurface 3, located in the middle of the intermediate dielectric layer 2. The nested octagonal structure comprises an outer octagonal ring 5, an inner octagonal ring 6, and a pattern 7 based on a regular polygon structure, all with the same centroid.

[0049] In this embodiment, the pattern 7 is preferably one of a regular octagon, a hexagram, and an octagonal star.

[0050] The inner octagonal ring 6 is sleeved over the pattern 7, with the two having the same centroid. The inner octagonal ring 6 has four sides that are parallel to the four sides of the intermediate dielectric layer 2. These four sides are called regular sides A, and the remaining sides are called hypotenuses A. The inner circumference of the four hypotenuses A of the inner octagonal ring 6 is stepped.

[0051] The outer octagonal ring 5 is sleeved over the inner octagonal ring 6, with the two having the same centroid. The eight sides of the outer octagonal ring 5 are parallel to the eight sides of the inner octagonal ring 6. The four hypotenuses of the outer octagonal ring 5 (corresponding to the four hypotenuses A of the inner octagonal ring 6) are called hypotenuses B, and the sides other than the four hypotenuses B are called straight sides B. The outer circumference of the four hypotenuses B of the outer octagonal ring 5 is stepped.

[0052] The top dielectric layer 4 is disposed above the metasurface 3 and is an FEP film with a dielectric constant of 2.1.

[0053] In this embodiment, the pattern of the metasurface 3 is formed by laser etching. Specifically, the metasurface 3 comprises a base material and a resistive dielectric layer (e.g., indium tin oxide (ITO)) disposed on the base material. The resistive dielectric layer is burned using laser etching to remove excess structural areas (i.e., the areas not hatched in the accompanying drawings), leaving behind a nested octagonal structure.

[0054] By changing the array form, changing the pattern 7, changing the surface resistance of the metasurface 3, or changing the structural parameters of the metasurface 3 (such as the dimensions of the outer and inner circumferences of the right side B and the oblique side B of the outer octagonal ring 5, and the dimensions of the outer and inner circumferences of the right side A and the right side B of the inner octagonal ring 6, etc.), the collection frequency band and the response frequency band bandwidth can be adjusted.

[0055] As an example, the terahertz energy harvester includes resonant cavities of two or more structural forms, each having a different pattern 7. These may include a combination of a resonant cavity with a regular octagonal pattern 7 and a resonant cavity with a hexagram pattern 7, a combination of a resonant cavity with a regular octagonal pattern 7 and a resonant cavity with an octagonal pattern 7, or a combination of a resonant cavity with a hexagram pattern 7 and a resonant cavity with an octagonal pattern 7. By combining two resonant cavities with different patterns 7, the number of collected frequency bands can be further increased, further enhancing the resonant absorption of terahertz waves.
