Characterization and Application of Dichroic Filters in the 0.1–3-THz Region
نویسندگان
چکیده
Low-loss dichroic filters, a subgroup of frequency-selective components, have been characterized by terahertz time-domain spectroscopy in the region from 0.1 to 3 THz and with Fourier transform spectroscopy. The two data sets are fully consistent. The time-domain spectrometer is used to investigate the phase velocity behavior of dichroic filters. The dichroic filters have various applications in frequency mixing, multiplying, and diplexing experiments. In a novel application, cascaded filters were used to limit the terahertz pulse bandwidth and to monitor molecular transitions of atmospheric water vapor in a selected frequency band.

Transmission characteristics of dichroic filters measured by THz time-domain spectroscopy
The transmission characteristics of perforated flat plates which act as dichroic filters or frequency selective surfaces were measured in the far-infrared (FIR) region by Terahertz Time-Domain Spectroscopy (THz-TDS). The mechanically made dichroic filters were designed for the cutoff frequencies of 155, 586, and 773 GHz. Due to their sharp cutoff characteristics, dichroic filters are used in qu...

Transmission and phase-shift characteristics of dichroic high-pass filters with cutoff frequencies as high as 1.11 THz and of a cross-shaped grid bandpass filter with a resonance frequency of 280 GHz were measured with an electro-optic sampling terahertz time-domain spectrometer operating between 0.1 and 2 THz. Good agreement with transmission theories is found. We also compare the transmission...
