Abstract :
Summary form only. The most popular waveguides are hollow metallic pipes. The transmission of a metallic hollow pipe is not satisfactory for all applications. Also, metal pipes are not flexible. We will report here a new type of hollow THz waveguide with PVDF polymer as the cladding material.
