Abstract :
We develop a method for fabricating hyperbolic metamaterials for terahertz (THz) applications. We prepare a porous silicon matrix with a triangular lattice of holes, which we fill with copper by means of electrochemical deposition. We study transmission properties of this wire medium using THz time-domain spectroscopy, and demonstrate hyperbolic media properties.
