Terahertz Sensing of Thin Poly(ethylene Terephthalate) Film Thickness Using a Metallic Mesh

Abstract: A metallic mesh, i.e., a metallic thin film with regularly spaced openings, works as a band-pass filter in the terahertz region. The filter's transmittance is far higher than the open-area ratio and its transmission spectrum is affected by the index of refraction in and above the openings. Therefore, metallic-mesh films can be used as high-sensitivity sensing or imaging conduits if samples adhere to the metal surface. Here, we report on our success in detecting 1-µm-thickness differences in poly(ethylene terep… Show more

“…Based on this phenomenon, MMD sensors, which detect the quantity of substance from the shift in the spectrum, have been developed. [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] Metal species for manufacturing are not limited, because MMDs made from various metals have extraordinary transmittance. MMDs offer high-throughput, compared with QCM and SPR, and can be used in screening and initial diagnosis.…”

“…At terahertz (THz) frequencies, refractive index sensing is less well developed. Many of the sensors such as dielectric-coated fibers, metallic meshes, and split-ring resonators have been implemented to sense thin dielectric layers, but the independent variable is the layer thickness rather than the index [5][6][7][8]. In contrast, other sensors in the THz range exist that are not sensitive to the layer thickness [9][10][11].…”
