Polarization independent and angularly tunable high-Q filter using guided-mode resonance at high terahertz frequencies
Abstract
Narrowband filtering with high Q factors, polarization independency and tunability at high THz frequencies is challenging. Here, combining guided mode resonance (GMR) and silicon on insulator (SOI) techniques, a narrowband filter with an experimental Q factor up to ∼ 450 at frequencies > 4 THz is presented. Its 90° structural symmetry leads to polarization independency and angular tunability of ∼ 56 GHz at an incidence angle of 7°. The filter has potential in various fields such as broadband communication, imaging and optical sensing.
