    Abstract

    Comparisons of experiment and theory are presented for transmission spectra over the range 2-15 mum of a set of frequency-selective surfaces consisting of arrays of simple dipole patches of aluminum on or in silicon. The arrays are fabricated by direct-write electron-beam lithography. Important parameters controlling the spectral shape are identified, such as dipole length, spacing, resistance, and dielectric surroundings. The separate influence of these variables is exhibited. Encouraging agreement between simple model calculations and the measurements is found. (C) 2001 Optical Society of America OCIS codes: 230.0230, 260.3060.
