THz High Pass Filters

THz High pass filters (HPF) are designed to block lower frequencies and allow only high terahertz frequencies to pass. The filters are made from metal plates with subwavelength diameter holes. The plates are mounted in holders with fit rings. The micro-sized holes in the filters act as waveguides with reject frequency determined by the hole geometry.

Applications:
• THz spectroscopy;
• THz diagnostic instruments;
• Astronomy and astrophysical applications, including space-based;
• Materials research;
• Sensors and detectors;
• Нigh harmonics extraction from the radiation of a free electron THz laser;
• Shielding coating.

Key properties:
• High transmittance of pass band;
• Low transmittance (<0.1%) in stop band;
• Cutting frequency up to 0.5 THz;
• Mounted in holders.

Part Number Designation for TYDEX high-frequency filters: HPF <frequency, THz>-<aperture, mm> Tydex
