Abstract :
Metamaterial-based waveguides offer unusual phenomena compared to conventional metallic and dielectric waveguides. We present a novel waveguide based on metamaterials, an air-core waveguide with a magnetic metamaterial cladding assembled from split ring resonator fibers. The transmission properties of the waveguide in the terahertz region are characterized both experimentally and numerically. Such waveguides promise future applications in novel terahertz devices.
