Leading national thinking on politics, government & public policy through Open Access research

Strathprints makes available scholarly Open Access content by researchers in the School of Government & Public Policy, based within the Faculty of Humanities & Social Sciences.

Research here is 1st in Scotland for research intensity and spans a wide range of domains. The Department of Politics demonstrates expertise in understanding parties, elections and public opinion, with additional emphases on political economy, institutions and international relations. This international angle is reflected in the European Policies Research Centre (EPRC) which conducts comparative research on public policy. Meanwhile, the Centre for Energy Policy provides independent expertise on energy, working across multidisciplinary groups to shape policy for a low carbon economy.

    Abstract

    Planar Periodic Surface Lattice (PSL) structures of different configurations have been designed, fabricated and measured in the 140-220 GHz frequency band. Surface mode resonances are observed in ‘mesh’ PSL structures. We establish that, when mounted on suitable metal-backed dielectric substrates, PSLs exhibit ‘modelocked’ coherent cavity eigenmodes formed from coupled volume and surface modes. The ‘proof-of-principle’ coupling of volume and surface modes and concept of mode selection in a large cavity, which can lead to the innovation of high power mm-THz radiation sources, is demonstrated. Evidence of coupled eigenmode formation in a 0.64 mm planar PSL measured at 325-500 GHz is presented, verifying the scalability of this work. Excellent agreement between numerical modelling and experiment is reported.
