In this work, amplitude modulator of terahertz radiation was fabricated and experimentally studied. The sample consists of two plastic substrates, internally coated with multilayer graphene, the cavity between the plates was filled with ion gel. The fabricated sample was studied by terahertz time-domain spectroscopy method. In the experiment, waveforms of terahertz pulse transmitted through the sample at different applied DC voltage were obtained. It was shown that with increasing DC voltage, the amplitude of the transmitted terahertz radiation decreases. The results may be used to design attenuators and modulators for terahertz communication.
