Broadband dispersion flattened porous core photonic crystal fiber for low loss THZ wave guiding

Terahertz (THz) radiation can be loosely defined in the frequency domain from 0.1 to 10 THz bands. It bridges the gap between microwave and optical wavelength and has already confined the researcher interest due its potential applications in spectroscopy, non-invasive imaging, biomedical sensing, a...
