Abstract: Due to its high electrical conductivity and excellent transmittance at terahertz frequencies, graphene is a promising candidate as transparent electrodes for terahertz devices. We demonstrate a liquid crystal based terahertz phase shifter with the graphene films as transparent electrodes. The maximum phase shift is 10.8 degree and the saturation voltage is 5 V with a 50 µm liquid crystal cell. The transmittance at terahertz frequencies and electrical conductivity depending on the number
of graphene layer are also investigated. The proposed phase shifter provides a continuous tunability, fully electrical controllability, and low DC voltage operation.
... film plane. The measurements have been conducted in a commercial THz time domain spectroscopy setup (Teraview TPS spectra 3000) [27, 28], which can generate a well-defined plane wave pulse from 0.06 - 4.0 THz. For ..
