  • Abstract
    Antireflective structures for a spectral range from 0.1-1.2 THz are applied to the surface of high resistive float zone silicon by deep reactive ion etching. Binary hexagonal and rectangular structures yield an increase in the pulse maximum of the electric field strength of about 20 percent for one structured surface.
