We present two polarizing elements designed to produce linear and circular polarization for broadband, pulsed THz waves. The linear polarizer is made out silicon wafers arranged at Brewster's angle and the circular polarizer is made out of a silicon prism using total internal reflection differential phase-shift effect.
