FSS Unit Cells
Scanning electron microscope (SEM) images and measured transmission spectra (blue lines) of microfabricated IR metallodielectric FSS filters with fractal cross-dipole, fractal square-patch, and GA-synthesized metallic geometries. Strong band rejection greater than 10 dB is observed at designed IR wavelengths between 15 and 75 µm. PMM-simulated transmission spectra with metallic and dielectric losses are included as red circles.
Interest in controlling wavelengths of light reflected and transmitted by a thin planar surface.
Frequency Selective Surface (FSS) techniques developed for microwave applications can be scaled to micron dimensions to achieve infrared filtering from a single metallodielectric layer.
MDPCs designed using Fractal and Genetic Algorithm techniques produce multiple strong stopbands at far-IR wavelengths.
Success in the far-IR has prompted efforts to scale down to shorter wavelengths and pursue exciting technologies such as Negative Index Materials (NIM) and All-dielectric Frequency Selective Surfaces (DFSS).
