  • Publication number: 20090097809
    Abstract: A method for fabricating a terahertz waveguide comprises forming a multilayer reflector formed of alternating layers of first and second polymer materials with distinct refractive indices, and defining with the multilayer reflector a hollow core through which terahertz radiation propagates. The corresponding terahertz waveguide comprises the multilayer reflector formed of the alternating layers of the first and second polymer materials with distinct refractive indices, and a hollow core defined by the multilayer reflector and through which terahertz radiation propagates.

  • Patent number: 7482893
    Abstract: Power combining methods and devices for tunnel diode oscillators using the infinite wavelength phenomenon observed in composite right/left-handed (CRLH) meta-material lines are described. One implementation utilizes a series combiner composed of zero degree lines, with each oscillator output port connected directly to the line and combined in-phase, to equally combine the power in phase. In a second implementation, a section of zero degree transmission line implements a stationary wave resonator with oscillators loosely coupled to the resonator, where the wave amplitude and phase are constant along the line. In one test of this second implementation a maximum power combining efficiency of 131% was obtained with the zeroth order resonator with two tunnel diodes oscillators at 2 GHz.
