Abstract :
We study the transmission of THz radiation through the metamaterial films containing metallic or semiconductor nanowires. The nanowire arrays are made by the stack-and-draw fiber fabrication technique. Metal embedded films exhibit strong polarizing properties, in contrast with those containing semiconductor.
