[IEEE 2019 44th International Conference on Infrared, Millimeter, and Terahertz Waves (IRMMW-THz) - Paris, France (2019.9.1-2019.9.6)] 2019 44th International Conference on Infrared, Millimeter, and Terahertz Waves (IRMMW-THz) - Evolution from Air-Cladded to Effective-Medium-Cladded Dielectric Waveguides

摘要： Integrated guiding structures with low loss, low dispersion and broad bandwidth are demanded in high-performance terahertz systems. In this work, an effective-medium-cladded waveguide fabricated on a single high-resistivity silicon wafer is proposed for terahertz operation. The effective medium is realized by regularly perforating a silicon slab with a period in the subwavelength region. The simulated average attenuation coefficient is around 0.05 dB/cm over the operation frequency range from 220 GHz to 330 GHz for the (cid:2)(cid:3)(cid:3) (cid:4) mode.
