Terahertz bandpass filter with Babinet complementary metamaterial mirrors and silicon subwavelength structure.

We fabricated a rigid bandpass filter with a broad far-infrared wavelength range of high transmission using a silicon subwavelength structure with a Babinet complementary metamaterial half-mirror pair, despite its apparent light-blocking structure. The rigid one-piece filter was produced by a simple process involving photolithography, dry etching, and deposition, each performed only once. The transmission principle relies on the Fabry-Perot resonance with a metamaterial half-mirror pair that exhibits extraordinary optical transmission due to spoof surface plasmon polaritons.

Fabrication of three-layer silicon antireflection structures in 200-450 GHz using deep reactive ion etching.

We developed broadband antireflection structures for millimeter-wave and submillimeter-wave applications, particularly cryogenic applications. The structures were fabricated on silicon using deep reactive ion etching. Three-layer subwavelength structures were fabricated on both sides of a silicon plate with an area of 20.
