Abstract

The search for fast, low-cost, and large scale fabrication of terahertz (THz) filters is still a challenge up to this present time. In this work, characteristic notch and low-pass filters operating in the (THz) region based on the plasmonic and diffractive lattice resonance of U-shaped structures is demonstrated. The fabrication of the THz filters based on U-shaped structures is carried out via low-cost photolithography and etching process. A photomask printed using commercial printer instead of a photomask fabricated via electron beam lithography was used for the photolithographic process which lessens the overall fabrication time and cost. The fabricated U-shaped structures were characterized via THz Transmission Time-Domain Spectroscopy. FDTD simulations of the U-shaped structures were also conducted and compared to experimental THz spectra and good agreement on the lineshape is observed. The discrepancy between the experimental and simulated THz spectra is mainly attributed to the structural disorders on the fabricated U-shaped structures.
