    This study demonstrates terahertz spoof surface plasmon polariton (SPP) devices using curved waveguides. Researchers identified optimal conditions for high transmission in bent SPP waveguides, paving the way for integrated terahertz systems.

    Area of Science:

    • * Physics and Applied Sciences
    • * Nanotechnology and Metamaterials

    Background:

    • * Spoof surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) are strongly confined surface waves on periodically structured metal surfaces.
    • * Terahertz (THz) technology requires efficient waveguiding components for integrated systems.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • * To demonstrate and characterize terahertz SPP devices utilizing curved waveguides.
    • * To investigate the impact of curvature on transmittance and bending loss in SPP waveguides.
    • * To develop and verify coupling equations for efficient signal transfer in complex SPP circuits.

    Main Methods:

    • * Fabrication and experimental demonstration of 90-degree curved SPP waveguides with varying radii of curvature (200–2300 µm).
    • * Measurement of transmittance and bending loss characteristics.
