Abstract
An all-dielectric Terahertz waveguide is designed based on hollow-core photonic crystal fiber. Simulation shows a waveguide transmission loss as low as 0.019 dB/mm near 140 GHz with a working bandwidth of approximately 18 GHz. Several waveguides of identical cross-section and differing lengths have been fabricated using a polymer-jetting rapid prototyping technique. Measurement results from these samples will also be reported.
