Abstract: As a new branch of artificial devices, metamaterials have attracted numerous interest in interdisciplinary research fields. The profound scientific significance and ingenious functionalities of metamaterials present state of the art of factitious components. Especially, in the terahertz regime, metamaterials are comprehensively exploited as various terahertz functional components, which pave a way to supporting the development of the rising terahertz technology. Here, a number of metamaterial based functioning terahertz devices are reviewed, including advanced passive components and active geometries. Their design, fabrication, verifications, functionalities, and physical interpretations are presented. The prospective applications of terahertz metamaterials and their challenges are also discussed.
Keywords: Terahertz, Metamaterials, Time-domain spectroscopy.
