  8. Our works We fabricated the low-cost THz phase shifter using an array of structured parallel metal plates, which works the wave plate with small deviation of phase shift in wide frequency region. We also demonstrated the generation of intense circularly-polarized THz pulse with multi and single cycle.

  9. Fabrication of the structured parallel metal plates We fabricated several 50×10×0.03mm3 steel plates with the periodically placed holes by the chemical etching. They were arranged using the metal spacers L=10mm a=66mm q Ein g=1.5mm p=100mm Theoretically, the cut-off and the resonant frequencies should be nc=0.10 THz and n0=1.7 THz, respectively.

  21. Summary and future’s prospects We demonstrate the broadband achromatic quarter wave plate based on the structured parallel metal plates. In our artificial medium available frequency region is 0.67THz to 1.21 THz (5% phase deviation). The center frequency and bandwidth of the wave plate based on the artificial medium can be controlled by the optimization of g, the thickness of the metal plate, and structure on the metal plates, so we can easily expand the available frequency region to the mid-infrared region. The wave plate based on the structured metal plates will open a new polarization-sensitive spectroscopy in infrared frequency region.
