Investigation on Transmission Properties of Terahertz Wave Through Semiconductor Aperture

The transmission properties of terahertz (THz) wave passing through semiconductor aperture have been investigated. The dispersion relationship for surface plasmon polariton (SPP) at different temperatures has been numerically calculated. The results show that the dispersion relationship increases with the increasing of frequency and the decreasing of temperature, the thickness of slab has to be taken into consideration because of the large skin depth for semiconductor slab. In addition, the propagation constant increases with the increasing of frequency and the decreasing of temperature.
