摘要
Terahertz time-domain spectroscopy is used to study the nature and efficiency of coupling between surface plasmon polaritons and free-space terahertz radiation by metallic gratings made from brass rods and a grooved aluminum plate. Reflection and transmission mode measurements indicate very rapid coupling and decoupling with > 70% efficiency after accounting for scattering. Results indicate a good match to theoretical coupling frequencies within the accuracy of the experimental setup. (C) 2004 Optical Society of America.
