Abstract: Terahertz (THz) transmission spectrum of metallic slit array is studied by means of terahertz time-domain spectroscopy. Frequency-selective THz transmission of metallic slit array is shown experimentally and analyzed by numerical simulation. The results illustrate that the obvious transmission enhancement occur with the narrowing of slits. The terahertz transmission peak has a blue shift until the peak disappear when the slit width becomes larger. The transmission enhancement of metallic slit array strongly depends on the polarization of terahertz radiation. For the metallic fractal structures of slit array, the multiband including the pass band and stop band exists and their frequencies of transmission peaks are determined by the length of first-level of fractal line. The electric field distribution on the metallic fractal array of square hole shows that THz field is localized on the boundary of metallic hole. It implied that THz transmission properties of metallic mesh structure are domain by the interaction between the photon and boundary plasma of metallic slits.
