  • Patent number: 9547185
    Abstract: A spatial light modulator based on a metamaterial structure and a preparation method thereof. The spatial light modulator includes an array of optical function elements and a control circuit. The optical function element includes a metamaterial structure formed by a metal nanostructure layer and a metal reflector layer, with a medium layer and nonmetal conducting material layer being provided between the metal nanostructure layer and the metal reflector layer. The spatial light modulator is simple in structure, high in integration, easy in manufacture and low in cost. Furthermore, the spatial light modulator is capable of high-speed modulation, the depth of modulation is controlled easily, and a low drive voltage may be obtained.

  • Patent number: 9444002
    Abstract: A graphene transistor optical detector based on a metamaterial structure and an application thereof. The optical detector includes a substrate, a gate metal layer, a gate medium layer, a graphene layer, a source and drain metal layer successively arranged from bottom to top, wherein a local region of at least the source and drain metal layer has a periodic micro/nanostructure, the periodic micro/nanostructure being matched with the gate metal layer and the gate medium layer to form a metamaterial structure having a complete absorption characteristic. By changing the refractive index, thickness or the like of material for the periodic micro/nanostructure and the gate medium layer, a light absorption frequency band of the metamaterial structure can be regulated. The optical detector provided by the present invention has higher flexibility and narrow-band response, and can work under visible light to infrared even longer wavebands by selecting different metamaterial structures.
