Several classes of non-planar metallic and dielectric waveguides have been proposed in
the literature for guidance of terahertz (THz) or T-ray radiation. In this review, we focus on the …

Polymers typically show only low absorption in the far-infrared or terahertz (THz) frequency
range and are thus often used as window or lens materials for THz spectroscopy and …

Principles of Terahertz Science and Technology aims to elucidate the fundamentals of THz
technology and science for potential new users. It surveys major techniques of generating …

Lying between optical and microwave ranges, the terahertz band in the electromagnetic
spectrum is attracting increased attention. Optical fibers are essential for developing the full …

Ethanol is widely used in chemical industrial processes as well as in the food and beverage
industry. Therefore, methods of detecting alcohol must be accurate, precise, and reliable. In …

Sources and systems for far-infrared or terahertz (1 THz= 1012 Hz) radiation have received
extensive attention in recent years, with applications in sensing, imaging and …

We report on a new class of polymer photonic crystal fibers for low-loss guidance of THz
radiation. The use of the cyclic olefin copolymer Topas, in combination with advanced …

Terahertz waves, which lie in the frequency range of 0.1-10 THz, have long been
investigated in a few limited fields, such as astronomy, because of a lack of devices for their …

A terahertz sensor based on a hollow core photonic crystal fiber has been proposed in this
paper for chemical analyte detection in the terahertz frequency range. The Zeonex-based …

In this work we report two designs of subwavelength fibers packaged for practical terahertz
wave guiding. We describe fabrication, modeling and characterization of microstructured …
