چکیده

This work presents a multilayer interference filter, suitable for operation with terahertz waves (T-rays). An analysis of the effect of the number of layers on the spectral response is given, with full measurement data including time-resolved signals, transmittances, and phase spectra. The silicon–air structure with a submillimeter thickness shows a stop-band between 0.2 and 0.5 THz, and the attenuation inside the stop-band increases in proportion to the number of layers in the structure. The measurement of the fabricated structure is in agreement with a characteristic matrix analysis. 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. PACS: 07.57. c; 42.25.Hz; 42.79.Ci

Transmission Characteristics of T-ray Multilayer Interference Filters

An optical multilayer interference filter is made from two or more different dielectric materials layered in such a way that it promotes constructive or destructive wave interference for a selected frequency in the direction normal to the layers. Usually, each layer has the thickness of a quarter of wavelength at which the stop-band is required. In this paper, a quarter-wavelength multilayer in...

Tunable Wideband Graphene based Filters in THz Band

In this paper, a procedure for analyzing and designing of tunable wideband band-pass and band-stop graphene based filters in the terahertz band is proposed. These planar wideband plasmonic filters are unique in their kind. With this procedure, it is possible to design filters with the desired functional characteristics in the form of the similar quarter-wavelength resonance stubs. The discontin...

Strong interference enhancement of terahertz emission from a photoexcited semiconductor surface.

To enhance terahertz emission from an optically excited semiconductor surface, we propose to sandwich a thin (as compared to the terahertz wavelength) semiconductor layer between a dielectric hyperhemispherical lens and metal substrate. The layer is excited through the lens. The substrate provides constructive interference of terahertz waves emitted to the lens directly from the layer and refle...

Compact Hairpin Bandpass Filter with Wide Stopband and High Attenuation Using Multilayer Broadside-coupled Stripline

This paper presents a compact bandpass filter with stopband and high attenuation by using multilayer folded broadside-coupled quarter-wavelength stripline resonators in a low-temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) substrate. The proposed bandpass filter centered at 1.1 GHz with a fractional bandwith of 4.5 % shows the first spurious frequency at 3.8 times the center frequency. In comparison to the...
