title: Mid-infrared filters using conducting elements.
abstract: This paper presents measured data on mid-infrared filters using conducting elements based on a simple first-order design philosophy. To the best of our knowledge, the filter center frequencies are at least a factor of 10 higher than any previously reported. The use of conducting elements adds an additional degree of freedom, which may be exploited to obtain filter characteristics superior to simple multilayer dielectric filters.
