A monolayer graphene metasurface composed of two large graphene split rings (TLGSRs) and two small graphene split rings (TSGSRs) is designed and proposed to achieve a tunable quintuple plasmon-induced transparency (QPIT) by coupled mode theory (CMT) and finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) simulations. We successfully realized and designed quintuple-frequency asynchronous, sextuple-frequency asynchronous, and sextuple-frequency synchronous photoelectric switches by dynamically adjusting the Fermi energy levels of graphene. The switches exhibit remarkable performance characteristics, including amplitude modulation degree (AMD) ranging from 71.0 % to 90.0 % and extinction ratio from 5.37 dB to 9.8 dB. The sensitivity of the proposed metasurface was studied and could reach 474 GHz/RIU. The proposed metasurface exhibits polarization-sensitive features due to its non-central symmetry in the metasurface. Finally, the metasurface symmetry-breaking effect on QPIT is further investigated, and results indicate that triple-PIT, quadruple-PIT, quintuple-PIT, and sextuple-PIT can be mutually transformed and regulated through structural symmetry breaking. In summary, the findings provide valuable guidance for the design of optoelectronic switches, sensors, and modulators.

基于单层石墨烯裂环超表面的可调五重等离子体诱导透明度和对称性破缺效应
设计并提出了由两个大石墨烯开口环(TLGSR)和两个小石墨烯开口环(TSGSR)组成的单层石墨烯超表面,通过耦合模式理论(CMT)和有限差分实现可调谐五重等离子体诱导透明性(QPIT)时域(FDTD)模拟。通过动态调节石墨烯费米能级,成功实现并设计了五倍频异步、六倍频异步和六倍频同步光电开关。这些开关表现出卓越的性能特征,包括调幅度(AMD) 范围为 71.0% 至 90.0%,消光比范围为 5.37 dB至 9.8 dB。所提出的超表面的灵敏度经过研究,可以达到 474 GHz/RIU。由于超表面的非中心对称性,所提出的超表面表现出偏振敏感特征。最后,进一步研究了超表面对称破缺对QPIT的影响,结果表明,三重PIT、四重PIT、五重PIT和六重PIT可以通过结构对称破缺相互转化和调节。总之,研究结果为光电开关、传感器和调制器的设计提供了有价值的指导。
