Abstract
This research reports an experimental and simulation study of a silicon-lens-free tapered parallel-plate waveguide (TPPWG) to improve THz coupling to the plate separation gap. The TPPWG without any silicon lens is compared to the parallel-plate waveguide (PPWG) with a plano-cylindrical silicon lens. It was found that the input- and output-side TPPWG with a 3° tapered slop angle increased by about 103% at 1 THz compared to the PPWG.
