Latest Patents

One of his latest patents is a "Spatial light modulator based on metamaterial structure and preparation method thereof." This invention features a spatial light modulator that includes an array of optical function elements and a control circuit. The optical function element is designed with a metamaterial structure formed by a metal nanostructure layer and a metal reflector layer, with a medium layer and nonmetal conducting material layer positioned between them. This design results in a simple structure that is highly integrated, easy to manufacture, and cost-effective. Additionally, it allows for high-speed modulation with easily controlled modulation depth and low drive voltage.

Another notable patent is the "Graphene transistor optical detector based on metamaterial structure and application thereof." This optical detector consists of a substrate, a gate metal layer, a gate medium layer, a graphene layer, and source and drain metal layers arranged in a specific order. A local region of the source and drain metal layer features a periodic micro/nanostructure that matches with the gate metal layer and medium layer to create a metamaterial structure with complete absorption characteristics. This invention offers higher flexibility and narrow-band response, functioning effectively under visible light to infrared wavelengths by selecting different metamaterial structures.
