Abstract

Planar metamaterials consisting of subwavelength resonators have been recently proposed for thin dielectric film sensing in the terahertz frequency range. Although the thickness of the dielectric film can be very small compared with the wavelength, the required area of sensed material is still determined by the diffraction-limited spot size of the terahertz beam excitation. In this article, terahertz near-field sensing is utilized to reduce the spot size. By positioning the metamaterial sensing platform close to the sub-diffraction terahertz source, the number of excited resonators, and hence minimal film area, are significantly reduced. As an additional advantage, a reduction in the number of excited resonators decreases the inter-cell coupling strength, and consequently the resonance Q factor is remarkably increased. The experimental results show that the resonance Q factor is improved by more than a factor of two compared to the far-field measurement. Moreover, for a film with a thickness of λ/375 the minimal area can be as small as 0.2λ × 0.2λ. The success of this work provides a platform for future metamaterial-based sensors for biomolecular detection.

Fig. 2 Modelled cross sections of terahertz beam, showing the normalized Ey component (a) at a distance of 25 μm, and (b) at a distance of 50 μm from the crystal surface. The far-field electric-field polarization is in the y-axis. The cross sections are registered at 0.4 THz. The red lines define the 1/e spot size. The rectangular boxes in (b) illustrate the area of test samples from (i) 150×150 μm2, (ii) 450×450 μm2, to (iii) 700×700 μm2.

Fig. 4 Far-field measurement results. The transmission of the uncoated metamaterial is accompanied by the error bars with one standard deviation. The transmission profiles for the metamaterial with photoresist films with an area of 700×700, 450×450, and 150×150 μm2 are mostly masked by the error bars. The Q factor is calculated from f0/Δf, where Δf is a difference in the frequency points where the transmission magnitude is half-way between the unity and minimum.

Fig. 5 Near-field measurement results. The transmission of the uncoated metamaterial is accompanied by the error bars with one standard deviation. The resonance frequency of the uncoated metamaterial is 0.427 THz, and the resonance frequencies in the case of 700×700, 450×450, 150×150 μm2 films are 0.404, 0.414, and 0.420 THz, respectively.
