Applied Physics 2019-10-01 v1 Optics

Abstract

Additive manufactured THz optics have been introduced as an efficient alternative to their commercial counterparts. Among various additive manufacturing methods, stereolithography provides superior spatial resolution and surface finish. However, examples of stereolithographically fabricated components for THz applications are still scarce. In this paper, we report on the fabrication process and performance of a stereolithographically fabricated broadband absorber for the THz spectral range. Simple THz transmission experiments were carried out for the absorber and bulk reference samples. The experimental results indicated that the fabricated absorber effectively absorbs incident signal in the investigated THz spectral range.
