Outline
• Introduction to terahertz (THz)• How to generate & detect THz?• Guiding the invisible THz in THz
PCFs• Summary
![Page 3: 16.20 04 j anthony](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062405/5550b6d2b4c905ff618b4bb5/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
What is THz?
• THz = Far-infrared = sub millimeter• Frequency range = .1 to 10 THz
( ~ 3 cm - .3 m)• Transparent to most materials:
Plastics, clothing...• Reflected by metals, absorbed by
water

Zeonex Microstructured Fibers
• High index guidanceModified total internal reflection
• Material: Zeonex (n = 1.52; = .13 cm-1)
• Core diameter = 400 m;air filling fraction = 82%

Results
• Temporal evolution of fundamental mode in Zeonex fibers

Results
• Measured loss limited only to material loss, negligible waveguide loss.

Kagome Microstructured Fibers
• PMMA rings in a triangular pattern• Fabrication: Stack-and-draw preform• Core diameters: 1.8 mm, 2.2 mm• Strut thickness: ~55 m, ~65 m
![Page 13: 16.20 04 j anthony](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062405/5550b6d2b4c905ff618b4bb5/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Guiding mechanism of kagome
• Inhibited coupling: Minimized mode overlap of core mode and cladding mode
• Loss characteristics: Determined by the strut thickness and index contrast
• Spectral properties similar to ARROW*: High transmission loss due to modes supported by cladding solid struts
