Hybridization induced transparency (HIT) resulting from the coupling between the material absorption resonance and the artificial structure (metamaterial) resonance provides an effective means of enhancing the sensitivity in the terahertz spectroscopic technique-based sensing applications. However, the application of this method is limited by the versatility to the samples with different volumes, because the samples usually have a refractive index larger than unity and their presence with different thicknesses will lead to a shift of the structure resonance, mismatching the material absorption. In this work, we demonstrate that by using InSb coupled rod structures, whose electromagnetic response in the terahertz band can be easily controlled by using ambient parameters like the temperature or magnetic field, the HIT effect can be easily tuned so that without the needs to change the rod geometry, one can realize efficient terahertz sensing with different sample thickness.
