To the authors' knowledge this paper is the first proof of concept of using meander line structures in the infrared domain. We have fabricated a single layer gold meander line on a high resistivity silicon substrate capable of changing the polarization state of the radiation from linear polarization at 43.5 /spl plusmn/ 0.4 degrees to elliptical polarization with an eccentricity of .398 /spl plusmn/ .008 and an orientation of 9.1 /spl plusmn/ 0.5 degrees. This performance shows that the meander line structure can be used in the IR as a planar phase retarder. The phase delay of this single layer meander line was measured to be 48.89 /spl plusmn/ .01 degrees. Moreover, the degree of polarization is minimally affected suggesting that the change of polarization is due to the meander line phase delay and not driven mainly by scattering. |
