Abstract
We propose a theoretical model for the optically controlled terahertz filter based on hybrid graphene/metasurface structure. Such a device has a high accuracy for the frequency adjustment by the different intensities of the optical pumping in the infrared spectral range, fast response time and polarization independence. The tuning by optical pumping of the spectral characteristics of the filter in term of resonant frequency and Q-factor was shown.
