Abstract
A tunable material black phosphorus (BP) terahertz (THz) half‐ring Fano resonator is proposed, exhibiting enhanced sensitivity, tunable frequency parameters, and the flexible sensing range. A half‐ring is positioned above the main channel, while a groove is excavated beneath it to produce the Fano resonance. The discrete mode of the half‐ring is coupled with the continuous mode of the groove, leading to a significantly enhanced sensitivity. This sensor can pick up subtle changes in the surrounding environment. Additionally, the incorporation of BP into the half‐ring positioned above the channel enables the flexible adjustment of the Fano resonator's resonant frequency. This adjustment is achieved through the manipulation of the electron doping concentration of the BP material. At the third‐order resonance around 5.81 THz, the frequency shift margin can reach 160 GHz. Adjusting the structural parameters of the Fano resonator, such as the radius of its outer ring, the distance of this ring to the main channel, and the groove's height, significantly affects its transmission spectrum. The Fano resonator demonstrates its considerable potential for applications in the field of integrated electronics. It not only provides an innovative design perspective, but also lays the foundation for the study of THz systems.
