Abstract

We discuss the unique possibilities stemming from exploiting the exotic properties of artificial metasurfaces designed for operation in the THz regime. We mainly focus on graphene based metasurfaces acting as modulators for the THz regime. Graphene exhibits unique optical properties particularly in the THz spectrum, where it predominantly exhibits a Drude-like response. Here we present that ultrafast modulation response in a graphene thin film absorber which can be assessed with use of a broadband THz time-domain-spectroscopic system (THz-TDS) in an IR pump-THz probe configuration. The simple scheme of the absorber can be used as a platform for ultrafast flat optics and metasurfaces.
