Ultra thin millimeter-wave absorbers on flexible polyimide substrate utilizing metamaterials are implemented for single and dual frequency bands in an emerging frequency spectrum of 77, 95, and 110 GHz. The dual band absorber is designed using a novel approach of imbedding high frequency resonator inside low frequency resonator capable of absorbing electromagnetic energy at both 77 and 110 GHz bands simultaneously. The total thickness of the absorber is just 126 μm (almost 1/20th of the wavelength). Measured peak absorptions for single frequency absorbers are 92, 94, and 99% at 77.2, 94.8, and 109.5 GHz, respectively, and for dual band absorber 92% at 77 GHz and 94% at 109.8 GHz.

We present experimental results on continuous-wave generation of THz radiation by strained Ge and a theoretical model for population inversion of carriers giving rise to the stimulated THz emission. Resonant acceptor states induced by strain and resonance hole scattering under applied electric field are necessary for the inversion.

Magneto-optical approach for the measurements of complex dielectric permittivity and magnetic permeability of solid and powdered strontium ferrite materials has been performed in the Q-, V-, and W-band frequency ranges. Free-space quasioptical millimeter-wave spectrometer equipped with a backward-wave oscillator as a tunable source of coherent radiation provides the transmittance spectra in transverse magnetic field up to 7.5kOe. Frequency dependences of dielectric and magnetic parameters of strontium ferrites have been calculated by matching theoretical curves to the experimental transmittance spectra. Shifting of the ferromagnetic resonance to higher frequencies and broadening of the zone of strong absorption in magnetic field for solid ferrite materials have been observed.
