| A metamaterial in the form: of a periodic lattice of split-ring resonators on a GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructure was numerically studied at terahertz frequencies. A finite-difference time-domain algorithm was applied to calculate distribution of the electromagnetic field in the layer positioned at 100 nm below the heterostructure surface where a two-dimensional electron gas typically resides in real structures. The results allowed to determine the resonant frequencies of the metamaterial as well as an enhancement factor of the electric field as a function of the period of the metamaterial's lattice. |
