Thermally tunable filter for terahertz range based on a one-dimensional photonic crystal with a defect

Abstract: A high-quality smart filter for terahertz range with relative tunability reaching 20% has been demonstrated. The filter is based on a narrow transmission band, which originates from a defect mode that appears due to insertion of a single crystal of KTaO 3 into otherwise periodic one-dimensional photonic crystal. Frequencies of defect modes are controlled by the refractive index of the defect: their high tunability is achieved by the strong temperature dependence of the dielectric properties of KTaO 3 . The low… Show more

“…Seminal approaches to introduce dynamic tunability of the stop band include the interaction of external triggers such as temperature [33] and magnetic or electric fields with physically responsive defect layers such as conducting polymers. [34] An alternative chemical approach takes advantage of the intrinsic material properties of ''active'' layer materials, which interact or react with the analyte, thus giving rise to a chemically encoded optical response.…”

“…Various approaches have been pursued to engineer tunable (electrically, magnetically, or by an external laser source optically controlled) THz filters as well as modulators/switches by using 1D and 2D PhCs [19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28]. Most notably from those approaches for the here envisaged THz FEL applications is the group which employs liquid crystals (LC) in conjunction with dielectric layers [26,27].…”

“…Photonic crystals (PCs) are periodic structures that allow one to manipulate the flow of light [2]. Most of the publications on THz PC are based on structures comprising semiconductors [6][7][8][9][10], polymers [11] or metals [12]. Tuning of photonic band structures in these PCs is realized by mechanical deformation or filling with different media.…”
