Abstract :
We demonstrate a new method for manufacturing metallic photonic crystal sheets as optical elements in the sub-THz region. Wire grid patterns are printed on papers by high conductivity glossy ink using a general-purpose color printer. The transmission characteristics of the wire grid sheets indicate good polarization characteristics in the sub-THz region.
