Abstract
A novel plasmonic THz fiber featuring two metallic wires in a porous dielectric cladding is studied for resonant sensing applications. In our design, introduction of even lossless analytes into the porous fiber core leads to significant changes in the modal losses, which is used as a transduction mechanism.
