Abstract :
Experiments on study of surface waves launched with a monochromatic terahertz source are described. We compare characteristics of the surface waves at the gold samples of different curvature covered with thin dielectric layers. Transmission of SEWs across surface impedance boundaries and air gaps is also examined.
