Abstract :
We present photonic crystals exhibiting a pronounced form birefringence at terahertz frequencies. These crystals can be employed as volumetric birefringent elements for a broad frequency range. Along with a theoretical discussion we demonstrate measurement results of a polymeric crystal.
