Abstract

We present thermal control of electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) by actively modulating the dark mode in terahertz (THz) metamaterials, including a cut wire and a split-ring resonator (SRR). By integrating indium antimonide (InSb) into the SRR and increasing the temperature, the active modulation of EIT is realized. The coupling mechanism is numerically analyzed through the coupled oscillator model, and the result of fitting the EIT intensity agrees well with the simulation results when the temperature changes from 200 to 240 K. By analyzing the electric field distribution, the physical mechanism is the change in the damping rate of the dark mode resonator due to the increase in InSb temperature. Our work has practical significance in designing tunable THz functional devices.
