Abstract

This paper presents the experimental study on an inductive mesh composed of contiguous metallic rings fabricated using UV-lithography on quartz glass. Experimental results indicate that, at the same period and linewidth as square mesh, ring mesh has better transmissivity for its higher obscuration ratio, stronger electromagnetic shielding performance for its smaller maximum aperture, and less degradation of imaging quality for its lower ratio and uniform distribution of high order diffraction energy. It is therefore concluded that this kind of ring mesh can be used as high-pass filters to provide electromagnetic shielding of optical transparent elements.
