interconnects, whereas existing interconnects suffer from high losses and low aggregate
data throughput owing to a lack of efficient interfaces. Here, we report an efficient 22-Gbit/s
terahertz fiber link using a tapered silicon interface that serves as a coupler between the
dielectric waveguide and hollow core fiber. We investigated the fundamental optical
properties of hollow-core fibers by considering fibers with 0.7-mm and 1-mm core diameters …
