摘要：

We present three monolithic metamaterial-based THz bandpass filters, the skewed circular slot rings, meandered slots and Jerusalem cross slots, to fit in the THz gap. These THz bandpass filters are comprised of a metal-dielectric-metal (MDM) structure that supports multiple resonances of electric dipole, magnetic dipole, and standing-wave-like modes. By exciting and further hybridizing these individual resonance modes, we demonstrate excellent performance of broad bandwidth and sharp band-edge transition beyond conventional bandpass filters. By further employing our ad hoc Genetic Algorithm (GA) and Periodic Method of Moments (PMM) to optimize our designs, we achieve an ultra-broad 3dB fractional bandwidth and sharp band-edge transition up to 82.2% and 58.3 dB/octave, respectively, benefiting the practical applications such as material recognition in security systems, imaging, and absorbers.
