  We have investigated the use of inkjet printing technology for the production
of THz range wire-grid polarizers using time-domain terahertz spectroscopy
(TDTS). Such technology affords an inexpensive and reproducible way of quickly
manufacturing THz range metamaterial structures. As a proof-of-concept
demonstration, numerous thin silver-nanoparticle ink lines were printed using a
Dimatix DMP-2831 printer. We investigated the optimal printing geometry of the
polarizers by examining a number of samples with printed wires of varying
thickness and spacing. We also investigated the polarization properties of
multiply-stacked polarizers.
