Broadband transparency in terahertz free-standing anapole metasurface
We report on an all-dielectric compound anapole metasurface featuring metaatoms based on concentric disks and rings arranged in a square lattice. In this free-standing metasurface, the radiating multipole components cancel each other out in the far field, regardless of the angle of incidence and the polarization of incoming radiation. To demonstrate experimentally a broadband transparency in the terahertz range, we fabricated a silicon metasurface with a total thickness of 60 μm using electron beam lithography and plasma deep etching techniques. Terahertz time-domain spectroscopy experiments revealed that the transmittance spectra measured at various incident angles and polarization states agree well with the respective modeling data. The proposed compound anapole approach has strong application potential for broadband terahertz photonics and sensing devices.
