In this study we report the first on terahertz (THz) transmission characteristics of a guided-mode resonance (GMR) filter made all-dielectric material. Two strong transverse electric (TE) modes, TE0,1 and TE1,1, one magnetic (TM) mode, TM0,1, were detected. The measured resonances can be explained by diffraction from grating surface GMR filter, guiding along inside (slab waveguide). Because two identical filters employed to overcome limited numbers, Q-factors TM0,1 modes as high 62.9, 71.0,...

We propose an all-dielectric single-layer guided-mode resonance filter (GMRF) operating in the high-frequency terahertz (THz) region. For fabrication of thin gratings to achieve strong region, refractive index and absorption must be small, while tensile strength high. Cyclic olefin copolymer (COC) films have a lower than polyethylene terephthalate (PET) higher yield polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) films. Therefore, COC film was found suitable fabricate GMRF THz fabricated COC-based GMRFs with...
