Terahertz pulse transmission in plastic photonic crystal fibres.
Guided-wave single-mode propagation of sub-ps terahertz (THz) pulses in a plastic photonic crystal fibre has been experimentally demonstrated. The plastic photonic crystal fibre (PPCF) is fabricated from high-density polyethylene tubes and filaments. The fibre exhibits low loss and relatively low dispersive propagation of THz pulses within the experimental bandwidth of 0.1-3 THz. Such PPCFs have the promise of low loss, mechanically flexible interconnect channels for compact THz devices and systems.
