Abstract: By taking advantage of the plasmon properties of graphene, a plasmon-induced transparency (PIT) system with multi-mode coupling can be constructed. We present a polarization-insensitive multifunctional metasurface leveraging graphene-vanadium dioxide (VO2) composites, where PIT arises from tailored bright–dark mode interactions. By capitalizing on the thermally triggered insulator-metal transition of VO2, we demonstrate a quadruple-band optical switch with exceptional metrics: 99% modulation depth (MD), 1.2 dB insertion loss (IL), and 8.7 dB (ER) extinction ratio — collectively enhancing signal integrity in photonic systems. Furthermore, this reconfigurable platform achieves VO2-tunable band-stop filtering via PIT modulation, advancing dynamically programmable photonic integrated circuits. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
