Problems solved by technology

Internationally, Maier et al. studied the propagation characteristics of terahertz waves on structured metal surfaces in 2008 (Nature Photonics, 2, 175-179, 2008), and Nahata et al. studied pseudo-surface plasmon waveguides on rectangular groove arrays in 2011 ( Optics Express, 19, 1072-1080, 2011), but all these structures have large transverse electrical dimensions, resulting in large losses in the case of bending

Abstract

The invention relates to a terahertz low-loss bent waveguide which comprises an outer waveguide plate and an inner waveguide plate. The outer waveguide plate and the inner waveguide plate are bent metal plates and bent portions of the plates are arc. The outer waveguide plate is parallel to the inner waveguide plate with a distance in between. Periodical grooves are formed in opposite surfaces of the outer waveguide plate and the inner waveguide plate. Terahertz waves are input from one end of the outer waveguide plate and one end of the inner waveguide plate in a horizontal magnetic wave mode and enter a gap between the outer waveguide plate and the inner waveguide plate so that surface waves can be transmitted in the gap, and are further transmitted to the other end of the outer waveguide plate and the outer end of the inner waveguide plate. Thus, low-loss bent transmission of the terahertz waves is achieved. According to the technical scheme, the bent loss of the terahertz waves is low and the terahertz low-loss bent waveguide is simple in structure, convenient to use and low in cost.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a terahertz low-loss curved waveguide. Background technique [0002] Terahertz (THz) waves are electromagnetic waves that lie between microwaves and far infrared rays. In recent years, with the development of ultrafast laser technology, the generation of terahertz pulses has a stable and reliable excitation light source, enabling people to study terahertz. Terahertz has a wide range of applications in biomedicine, safety monitoring, non-destructive detection, astronomy, spectroscopy and imaging technology, and information science. Terahertz waveguide is a basic transmission device for terahertz applications and a key device for terahertz communication systems. Internationally, Maier et al. studied the propagation characteristics of terahertz waves on structured metal surfaces in 2008 (Nature Photonics, 2, 175-179, 2008), and Nahata et al. studied pseudo-surface plasmon waveguides on rectangular groove arrays in 2011 ( Optics...
