Abstract
This paper reports on a broadband transmission filter that employs the guided mode
resonances pertaining to a terahertz me
slab. Unlike structures involving conventional me
placed on the upper and lower sides of a thick quartz slab. This structure can excite both even
and odd guided mode resonances. The interaction of the two resonances at similar frequencies
produces a broadband transmission peak. The sharp spectral feature of each resonance leads to
the abrupt degradation of the transmission at the spectral edge, which can enable the development
of the filter application. The proposed scheme can facilitate practical applications such as those
of broadband filters at a terahertz frequency.
