In this research, an arc I-shaped graphene sensing structure with multi-resonance characteristics is proposed for the simultaneous detection of vibrational fingerprints with spectral separation in the terahertz range. The resonant frequencies of the sensor can be dynamically tuned by changing the gate voltage applied to the graphene arrays. The two vibrational fingerprints of lactose molecules (0.53 THz and 1.37 THz) in the transmission spectrum can be enhanced simultaneously by strictly optimizing the geometrical parameters of the sensor. More importantly, these two resonant frequencies can be tuned precisely to coincide with the two standard resonances of the lactose molecule. The physical mechanism of the sensor is revealed by inspection of the electric field intensity distribution, and the advantage of the sensor, which is its ability to operate at a wide range of incident angles, has been demonstrated. The sensing performance of the structure as a refractive index sensor has also been studied. Finally, a double arc I-shaped graphene sensor is further designed to overcome the polarization sensitivity, which demonstrates excellent molecular detection performance under different polarization conditions. This study may serve as a reference for designing graphene biosensors for molecular detection.
