Abstract :
In this paper a kind of hollow-core terahertz photonic crystal fiber made of Cyclic-olefin Copolymer with low absorption loss is designed. Results show these fibers are much better than metallic waveguides for their fine transmission properties in terahertz band. Along with the fine flexibility to bend, they are of great importance in application.
