A one-dimensional (1D) photonic metal parallel plate waveguide is presented in the spectral range of 0.5–3THz that has high throughput and stop bands with up to the experimental limit of 40dB of dynamic range. By incorporating a defect into the periodic bottom plate of the waveguide, a transmission resonance is generated in the first stop band with a Q value of 120 and a dynamic range of over 17dB. The 1D geometry allows the utilization of the mode matching technique to analytically calculate the transmission of the photonic waveguide.
