Abstract

We utilize the reflectivity of one-dimensional metal gratings with sub-wavelength slits to realize mirrors for THz frequencies. Two of them are combined to a Fabry-Perot filter, which features the corresponding transmission bands. By appropriate choice of dimensions, the extraordinary transmission resonance of the sub-wavelength gratings can be superimposed with the Fabry-Perot peak. By varying the resonator length between the grating mirrors, the overlap of both transmission peaks can be controlled. This enables the tuning of the filter bandwidth. The theoretical analysis shows that continuous tuning of the filter bandwidth up to 30% is possible for a two mirror stage. For the performance of comparative measurements, an all-fiber continuous-wave THz system is used. The experimental results are in fairly well agreement with the theoretically predicted tuning properties.
