Based on the hybrid metal-graphene structures, we investigated the tunable Fano resonances in the terahertz region, including the effects of graphene Fermi levels, structural parameters, and operation frequencies. The results reveal that an obvious Fano resonance can be observed, the maximum peak value of Fano resonance can reach 0.9711, and its Q-quality factor is more about 20. With the help of the graphene layer, the resonant curves of the proposed structures can be effectively modulated, the frequency modulation depth can reach 60% as the Fermi level changes in the range of 0.1–1.0 eV. In addition, by varying the length of graphene bar in the scope of 10–60 μm, the amplitude modulation depths are about 21.0%. The results are helpful for designing novel graphene-based tunable terahertz devices with high Q factor, e.g. modulators, sensors and antenna.
