A device configured to inhibit the reflectance of electromagnetic radiation in the terahertz (THz) frequency range. This characterization is a combination of material and geometric parameters which are unique and tunable enabling resonating frequencies (spectral selectivity) in the THz range (0.1-25) with narrow channel widths (FWHM) controllable by the thickness and electrical properties of the crystalline material. This device may be integrated with broadband sources or co-integrated with other analytical detection methods (e.g., chromatography, Fourier Transform Reflectance Spectroscopy).

Ultra-spectrally selective terahertz band stop reflector

A method and device which can receive and identify electromagnetic radiation in the terahertz (THz) frequency range. The device has a combination of material and geometric parameters that are unique and tunable, enabling resonating frequencies for spectral selectivity in the THz range (0.1-15) with ultra-narrow channel widths (0.01-0.10 THz) full width at half maximum (FWHM). Dependent upon configuration, the device may be employed as a large area resonator to collect weak or diffuse signals or as a constituent of an array able to take pictures within the spectrum for which they are sensitive.
