Description: |
AbstractA model of a magnetically controlled linear polarizer of terahertz (THz) waves based on a cell filled with a magnetic fluid and controlled by an external magnetic field was proposed. The magnetic fluid consisted of a synthetic oil with high transparency in the THz range and ferromagnetic alloy microparticles. Selection of the ferromagnetic particles size and concentration, and also parameters of the external magnetic field was conducted. It was shown that when using ferromagnetic particles of 10–35 μm size, a concentration of 10 wt.%, and a magnetic field with induction of 6.7–57.2 mT, the created construction works as a linear polarizer of the THz wave in the ranged from 0.3 to 1.5 THz, with the degree of polarization of the initially non-polarized THz wave transmitted through the cell being at least of 80%. see all
