THz Low Pass Filter
Product Introduction
THz Low Pass Filter is a component designed to transmit and block short-wavelength THz waves. These filters are fabricated by encapsulating specific materials. Their fundamental operating principle relies on the theories of dispersion, reflection, scattering, diffraction, and interference.

*Please note that many customers use these Low Pass Filters in time-domain spectroscopy to block near-infrared lasers while allowing terahertz radiation to pass through. These filters are fabricated with a sandwich structure, one component of which is low-density polyethylene (LDPE) with a high carbon content. This material resembles black plastic in appearance; therefore, if the power beam used in your experiment can burn through the "black polyethylene," it may also damage these filters. It is therefore recommended that the laser beam incident from the white polyethylene side, and when the intensity is particularly high, an additional layer of polyethylene window film should be placed in front of the filter.
Section 2.Ceramic Plate THz Low Pass Filter
The second type of THz Low Pass Filter consists of a series of units composed of individual plates made from various ceramic materials. These filters can be used with or without a support structure. The cutoff frequency of these plates is defined at a transmission level of 1%. The name of the filter includes the corresponding terahertz frequency.
The maximum dimensions of a THz Low Pass Filter can be customized as required. Certain filters are capable of withstanding extreme temperatures; for example, the LPFK20.9 filter operates at extremely low temperatures, making it suitable for use with nitrogen and helium refrigerants as well as in space applications.
