Coherent control of magneto-optical Faraday rotation at terahertz frequencies in graphene-based metasurfaces via electromagnetically induced transparency

Abstract

Abstract We investigate theoretically the controlled magneto-optical Faraday rotation (MO-FR) through graphene-based metasurfaces placed on electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) substrate at terahertz (THz) frequencies. MO-FR and transmission of the probe light are studied by changing the electric field that manipulates the group index of the substrate. The MO-FR can be controlled and enhanced by varying the periodic width of graphene ribbons. The polarization plane of MO-FR changes with 180 degrees while increasing the probe field detuning through the EIT substrate. The zero-crossing of MO-FR shifts to higher THz frequencies with increasing the magnetic field. The transmission of the probe light pulse at THz frequencies is investigated with the probe detuning and the applied magnetic field.
