Additionally, silicon is proving itself to be an excellent optical material. We have studied the feasibility of silicon microspheres as a optical filters at THz communication frequencies. The silicon microsphere has a radius of 500 gm and a refractive index of 3.4. Elastic scattering spectra are calculated for TE and TM polarizations for wavelengths between 90 mu m and 100 mu m in the THz communication band. The high quality factor morphology dependent resonances are found to have a repetitive mode spacing of 1.2 mu m.pdfOpticsConference proceeding1996-756Xhttps://doi.org/10.1117/12.646389237274900022N/ANOIR00862
