SIMPLIFIED TECHNIQUE OF FABRICATING DIELECTRIC-COATED SILVER HOLLOW NICKEL WAVEGUIDES BY THE OUTER-COATING METHOD OF THE LIQUID PHASE PROCESS

摘要

Considerable simplification has been made in the fabrication of rugged dielectric-coated silver hollow nickel waveguides. The new method is based on the outer-coating method and does not use any expensive equipment, such as RF-sputtering apparatus. In order to show its effectiveness, polyimide-coated silver hollow nickel-waveguides have been successfully fabricated with small attenuation. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd. [References: 9]
