Numerical Analysis of Propagating and Radiating Properties of Hollow Core Photonic Band Gap Fibres for THz Applications

摘要

Hollow core photonic bandgap fibres (HC-PBGFs) are numerically investigated in order to obtain low loss wave-guiding and good aperture field distribution in the terahertz region (0.1–10 THz) of the electromagnetic spectrum. The purity of the aperture field distribution at the HC-PBGF section combined with low loss propagation and high coupling efficiency with free-space propagating Gaussian beams suggest a possible employment of such a structure as aperture antennas, for possible feed systems in THz applications and in THz wireless sensing.
