Abstract

A new type of optically controllable terahertz wave attenuator using high‐resistivity silicon wafer is developed and tested. Without optical excitation, the high‐resistivity silicon is a lossless dielectric material at terahertz wave region. When the high‐resistivity silicon wafer is optically excited, free carriers are generated, and the silicon wafer becomes a lossy dielectric. We study theoretically and demonstrate experimentally light‐controllable terahertz wave of the high‐resistivity silicon wafer. The results show that more than 10‐dB attenuation of the novel terahertz wave attenuator is obtained at frequency of 0.3 THz. The proposed device can be used in future terahertz wave communication systems. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

We design an omnidirectional dielectric mirror that operates over a wide terahertz wavelength range and is based on a periodic bilayer (tellurium and polystyrene) structure. The structure is characterized by using transfer matrix calculation. Results of simulation show that the presented dielectric
