  • Abstract
    We demonstrate a reduction of loss and group velocity dispersion (GVD) of THz plasmonic waveguides by using a low-loss thin flexible substrate. We present a numerical calculation of the effect of the substrate thickness on the GVD. We show experimentally low absorption and weak distortion of the propagated THz pulses along a THz plasmonic waveguide on a flexible 58μm-thick polyimide substrate.
