Abstract
A mechanically tunable prism is constructed using a conventional 3D printer. First, by printing periodical layers of polystyrene, a dispersive element is obtained. Later, a tunable dispersive element is obtained by linking these layers with 3D printed bow springs. We show how this tunable dispersive element spatially resolves the different frequency components for terahertz radiation.
