Abstract
Quite recently, it was found that metal wires can effectively guide terahertz radiation. We report in this communication an original planar excitation of surface wave on a single wire transmission line. This configuration is well suited for the design of THz BioMEMS dedicated to cell investigation. We show that we can deal with a micrometer spatial resolution
