We proposed and fabricated toroidal dipole (TD) metasurfaces(MSs) with a metamolecule of two coplanar U-shaped split ring resonators(USRRs) fabricated on polyimide substrate, and TD metamaterials (MMs) were the stacks of two TD MSs layers, whose frequencies, electromagnetic (EM) distributions and Q factor can be efficiently affected by the EM coupling effect in TD MSs/MMs. It was found that the resonances frequencies of TD MMs were shifted to lower frequencies due to the increase of inductance by the stacks of metallic layer. Meanwhile, the high-frequency TD resonance in TD MMs would be tailored by the periodicity. Considering the relation between TD resonances and the scattering power of TD (Ty), the Q factor depended highly on the value of Ty in the same metamolecule structure. The optimization in excitation of TD provide opportunity to further increase the Q-factor of metamaterial and pave a way for potential applications in terahertz sensor and other functional devices.
