Low-loss materials find multiple applications in the modern electronics industry with dielectric-based substrates used in printed circuit boards (PCB’s) being a prominent example. Others include ceramic materials and plastics employed in packages for integrated circuits or supportive and protection structures for integrated antennas. There is a strong interest in efficient and easy-to-use...
Historically, terahertz science and technology has been restricted to specialized applications such as radio astronomy due to various technological challenges. Hollow rectangular waveguides are the primary transmission line medium in many terahertz systems due to their mechanical stability, low electromagnetic losses, enclosed nature, and compatibility with active circuit elements....
Terahertz Time-Domain Spectroscopy (THz-TDS) has recently become an attractive analytical technique in gas, liquid or solid state phase which uses ultra-short bursts of terahertz radiation for probing of the medium properties. We show that straight forward and fast determination of propagation times of THz pulses transmitted through gasoline samples is adequate to detect small, a few hundred...
