Abstract
We demonstrate a tunable terahertz (THz) filter using an etalon with a nematic liquid crystal (NLC) layer. The etalon is composed of water-free fused silica glass plates and air layers, and contains a 75 μm-thick defect layer filled with homeotropically-aligned NLCs. Frequency tuning of the transmission peak is achieved by applying an in-plane electric field across the NLC layer: the transmission peak shifts from 1.025 THz to 1.013 THz. The obtained rise and decay times are 5.3 s and 12.2 s respectively and found to be 10 times faster than previous THz LC devices because of the thin NLC layer.
