Abstract :
Recently, much attention has been paid for low loss waveguide for terahertz wave. Many types of waveguide structure using polymers have been investigated. A bundle of polymer tubes is a powerful candidate for the terahertz fiber. In this paper, we proposed and analyzed a new terahertz fiber using polymer tubes. Optimum tube parameters in bundle structure for low loss waveguide are clarified.
