Submillimeter waveguiding on periodic metal structure
Abstract
Electromagnetic radiation of 337-μm wavelength has been guided in the form of TM surface waves along thin copper sheets perforated in a regular pattern (metal mesh). Polyethylene prism couplers served for launching and output coupling. The frequency dispersion of the metal mesh guide is similar to that of a transmission line loaded periodically with shunt capacitances. Strong directional dispersion is observed.
