    Temperature-mediated excitation of defect modes in a periodic structure at terahertz frequencies

    No full text
    The dependence on temperature of a defect mode of a periodic dielectric multilayer is studied in the terahertz range by using the characteristic matrix method. The structure analyzed is composed of alternating layers of silica and polymethylpentene. The material of the defect is the indium antimonide (InSb), which has a permittivity that is temperature dependent causing a blueshift of the defect mode as the temperature rises. Although at terahertz frequencies, the InSb is a dissipative material, choosing appropriately the thickness of the defect results in a defect mode with a transmittance that, throughout the range explored, always remains above 0.9 with a maximum of 0.9914

    Cantor Dielectric Filters in Rectangular Waveguides

    A triadic Cantor fractal multi-layer is a stack of two different dielectric materials whose thicknesses are determined according to the triadic Cantor fractal scheme. When inserted in a rectangular waveguide, the spectral response of a triadic Cantor multi-layer can be tailored to feature a narrow single transmission peak in the waveguide single-mode frequency range, with a low insertion loss and a high rejection level of forbidden frequencies. The experimental characterization of alumina-polystyrene and plexiglass-polystyrene Cantor multi-layers inserted in a WR90 waveguide (Hewlett-Packard, USA) matches thoroughly with the results of the theoretical modeling and demonstrates that triadic Cantor multi-layers can be used to realize feasible narrow-band microwave filters
