Polymer translocation is a fundamental topic in non-equilibrium physics and is crucially important to many biological processes in life. In the present work, we adopt two-dimensional Langevin dynamics simulations to study the forced and spontaneous translocation dynamics of an active filament. The influence of polymer stiffness on the underlying dynamics is explicitly analyzed. For the forced translocation, the results show a robust stiffness-induced inhibition, and the translocation time exhibits a dual-exponent scaling relationship with the bending modulus. Tension propagation (TP) is also examined, where we find prominent modifications in terms of both activity and stiffness. For spontaneous translocation into a pure solvent, the translocation time is almost independent of the polymer stiffness. However, when the polymer is translocated into a porous medium, an intriguing non-monotonic alteration of translocation time with increasing chain stiffness is demonstrated. The semiflexible chain is beneficial for translocation while the rigid chain is not conducive. Stiffness regulation on the diffusion dynamics of the polymer in porous media shows a consistent scenario. The interplay of activity, stiffness, and porous crowding provides a new mechanism for understanding the non-trivial translocation dynamics of an active filament in complex environments.
