Description

A double-wire-grid polarizer was fabricated on both sides of a low-loss polythene film by simple electroplating and photolithographic micro-processing techniques. The performances of the polarizer were measured using a terahertz time-domain spectrometer (THz-TDS). The transmittance is more than 70% and below 2% in the parallel and perpendicular directions of the polarizer, respectively. The extinction ratio is better than 22 dB in the broad frequency range of 0.5–3 THz, which is higher than the conventional free-standing polarizer in the high frequency region
