Recent Advances in Terahertz Manipulations Using C-Shape-Split-Ring-Resonator Metasurfaces (Review)

Metasurfaces have garnered significant interest owing to their inherent advantages over traditional optical components in manipulating electromagnetic waves unconventionally. Among the fundamental building blocks of metasurfaces, C-shaped-split-ring resonators (CSRRs) have emerged as a highly promising option, enabling strong resonances and precise control over various characteristics of electromagnetic waves, such as phase, amplitude, and polarization. This review aims to showcase recent advancements in CSRR metasurfaces for manipulating THz waves, particularly focusing on both passive and active methods employed for controlling THz waves using single-layer and multi-layer CSRR metasurfaces. Moreover, this review will provide valuable insights into potential research directions in this rapidly evolving field.
