Problems solved by technology

[0003] At present, the schemes for realizing tunable terahertz wave filters mainly include: introducing variable refraction dielectric layers such as ferroelectric chips and liquid crystals into the multilayer dielectric film photonic crystal structure, and adjusting the filtering frequency by controlling the device temperature and electrode voltage. This type of filter has a narrow filtering bandwidth and a large adjustable frequency range, but its structural material has a large absorption of terahertz waves, and the modulation mechanism is complex and difficult to modulate; the other is to use light Control, electric control or temperature control can change the resonance characteristics of the metamaterial structure to realize an adjustable filter, but this type of filter often constitutes a band-stop filter instead of a more commonly used band-pass filter. The device manufacturing process is demanding and the device Great absorption of terahertz waves

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of terahertz wave technology and wireless communication devices, in particular to a terahertz wave tunable narrow-band filter based on a silicon-based photonic crystal structure. Background technique [0002] Terahertz (THz) wave connects the microwave and infrared light bands in the frequency band. It has low photon energy, can penetrate most non-polar molecular materials, high spatial resolution, and wide bandwidth. Therefore, it is widely used in detection, security, imaging and It has a good application prospect in communication. Although terahertz wave technology has achieved great development in recent years, conventional microwave electronic devices cannot be used in the terahertz wave band due to the extremely high frequency of terahertz waves relative to microwaves, and its relative light wavelength is too long, making optical Most optical devices in the field are also difficult to apply, and most optical ma...
