Abstract :
The far infrared spectral characteristics of inductive metal mesh dielectric hybrid mirrors were investigated. From experimental and theoretical studies, the mirrors were found to exhibit etalon effects due to the finite Si substrate thickness and to have two separate diffraction conditions. With grid spacing 
and substrate index of refraction 
, for 
the mirrors diffract in transmission while for 
the mirrors diffract both in transmission and reflection. Using both inductive and capacitive mesh mirrors, EH11 outputs have been obtained at the milliwatt level in the range 70 μm to 1.2 mm. Powers in excess of 10 mW were obtained from CH3 OH at 96 and 118 μm, HCOOH at 393 μm, CH3 I at 447 μm, and CH3 F at 496μm.
