Efficient methods to modulate terahertz (THz) light are essential for realizing rapid THz
imaging and communication applications. Here we report a novel THz modulator which
utilizes the evanescent wave in a total internal reflection setup coupled with a conductive
interface to enhance the attenuation efficiency of THz light. This approach makes it possible
to achieve close to 100% modulation with a small interface conductivity of 12 mS. The
frequency dependence of this technique is linked to the optical properties of the materials: a …
