Abstract
Our recent efforts suggest that there exists strong electromagnetic field enhancement in our recently proposed metallic metamaterial. Of particular importance here is the potential for the realization of compact terahertz free-electron lasers (THz-FELs) using this structure. We present the capability of controlling electromagnetic field enhancement, which must be one of the main issues in developing the compact THz-FELs. Moreover, switching and sensing abilities of this structure could also be investigated for other metal-based THz applications. The numerical and experimental works will be presented in the conference. © 2015 IEEE.
