Superconducting complementary metasurfaces for THz ultrastrong light-matter coupling

Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics 2014-03-12 v1

Abstract

A superconducting metasurface operating in the THz range and based on the complementary metamaterial approach is discussed. Experimental measurements as a function of temperature and magnetic field display a modulation of the metasurface with a change in transmission amplitude and frequency of the resonant features. Such a metasurface is successively used as a resonator for a cavity quantum electrodynamic experiment displaying ultrastrong coupling to the cyclotron transition of a 2DEG. A finite element modeling is developed and its results are in good agreement with the experimental data. In this system a normalized coupling ratio of Ωωc=0.27\frac{\Omega}{\omega_c}=0.27 is measured and a clear modulation of the polaritonic states as a function of the temperature is observed.
