TY - JOUR AU - Obayya, S. S. A. AB - A novel porous core photonic crystal fiber (PC-PCF) is suggested and analyzed for terahertz waveguiding. The PC-PCF has a TOPAS background material with suspended asymmetric slotted core. Therefore, high birefringence of 0.09 is achieved with small material absorption losses of 0.016 cm−1 and 0.028 cm−1 for the quasi transverse electric (TE) and quasi transverse magnetic (TM) modes, respectively at f = 1.5 THz. Additionally low bending losses of 2.63 × 10–24 cm−1 and 8.16 × 10–36 cm−1 are obtained for the quasi TE and quasi TM modes, respectively at 1.0 cm bending radius and f = 1.5 THz. Further, the PC-PCF has an ultra-flat low dispersion of 0.54 ±\documentclass[12pt]{minimal}\usepackage{amsmath}\usepackage{wasysym}\usepackage{amsfonts}\usepackage{amssymb}\usepackage{amsbsy}\usepackage{mathrsfs}\usepackage{upgreek}\setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt}\begin{document}$$\pm$$\end{document} 0.08 ps/THz/cm and 0.94 ±0.1\documentclass[12pt]{minimal}\usepackage{amsmath}\usepackage{wasysym}\usepackage{amsfonts}\usepackage{amssymb}\usepackage{amsbsy}\usepackage{mathrsfs}\usepackage{upgreek}\setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt}\begin{document}$$\pm 0.1{ }$$\end{document} ps/THz/cm for the quasi TE and TM modes, respectively within the frequency range of 0.8–1.2 THz. Therefore, the reported SSCPCF has a strong potential for usage in the Terahertz regime.
