Abstract :
We experimentally demonstrate single-mode broadband THz propagation in hollow core waveguides fabricated with a 3D printer with metallic inclusions. The measurement data obtained from the Terahertz (THz) Time Domain spectroscopy experiments show low loss guidance and low dispersion characteristics, and these are in very good agreement with the results obtained from numerical simulations of the investigated waveguides.
