Abstract

We present a theoretical model of optically tunable graphene-based structure for polarization characteristics control of transmitted terahertz (THz) wave. The experimental verification was performed using a THz time-domain polarimetry setup. The tunability is achieved by applying an external optical pumping and magnetic field. The structure shows the possibility for dynamical control of ellipticity and azimuth angles of polarization state of THz radiation in a transmission mode. This study indicates a strong potential for using graphene-based structures for polarization sensitive applications such as THz wireless communications and biomedical research.
