Abstract

A low loss wavelength-selective filter in terahertz frequencies is proposed and demonstrated. The proposed filter consists of a resonator placed in the air with a 15 μm and a bus waveguide with width of 0.35 μm produced on a wafer wirh refractive index of 3.5 and total optical path length of 400 μm. To analysis of the structure, finite difference time domain is applied. To benchmark the performance of the proposed filter several practical parameters including geometry on transmission efficiency and quality factor are inspected. The proposed filter exhibits high quality resonance at central wavelength. The calculated transmission efficiency and quality factor are 94% and 449, respectively. We envision that the proposed structure with optimal properties can provide better performance for future sustainable filters.
