This study explores two methods to reduce radiation loss in terahertz slot-lines: homogeneous media and layered substrates. Both approaches demonstrate effectiveness for terahertz wave transmission with minimal conductor loss.

Area of Science:

  • Terahertz technology
  • Electromagnetics
  • Waveguide theory

Background:

  • Slot-lines are crucial for terahertz (THz) applications.
  • Radiation loss limits the efficiency of slot-lines at THz frequencies.
  • Novel solutions are needed to enhance THz transmission line performance.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate two distinct strategies for mitigating radiation loss in slot-lines operating at terahertz frequencies.
  • To theoretically analyze the performance of slot-lines in homogeneous and layered media for THz wave propagation.
  • To validate theoretical findings with numerical simulations.

Main Methods:

  • Theoretical analysis of slot-line characteristics in a homogeneous medium.
  • Calculation of absorption coefficient based on field distribution and waveguide dimensions.

  • Full-wave numerical simulations utilizing the Finite Element Method (FEM).

    • Main Results:

    • Slot-lines in homogeneous media show effective THz transmission with 2 cm⁻¹ absorption.
    • Slot-lines on layered substrates exhibit efficient THz transmission with 3 cm⁻¹ absorption.
    • Both methods effectively reduce conductor loss for terahertz waves.

    Conclusions:

    • Slot-lines in homogeneous and layered substrates are viable transmission lines for terahertz applications.
    • The proposed configurations offer improved performance by minimizing radiation and conductor losses.
    • FEM simulations confirm the theoretical predictions for these terahertz transmission lines.
