We numerically and experimentally demonstrate a series of multilayer metamaterial filters in the terahertz region. The designed structure consists of multiple metal-polyimide composite layers and cyclic olefin copolymer layers. The transmission spectra of the filters are characterized by terahertz time-domain spectroscopy, and the measured results agree well with simulations. In addition, the mechanism of the multilayer structure is theoretically studied by a thin film multibeam interference model. The proposed filters exhibit high efficiency at passband and can be broadly utilized as compact devices in practical applications at terahertz frequencies.
