Abstract :
A cylindrical metallic photonic crystal waveguide -design and analysis is reported. Air-core microstructured fiber has been demonstrated as a low loss dielectric waveguide for THz guiding is used to design this waveguide. It can be used as a slow wave structure (SWS), which is considered as a key element in backward wave oscillator (BWO) and other types of electron beam sub-millimeter wave sources. The finite difference method is used to analyze these waveguides.
