Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A system for coupling teraherz (THz) radiation to a coaxial waveguide comprises an antenna that generates THz radiation having a mode that matches the mode of the waveguide. The antenna may comprise a pair of concentric electrodes, at least one of which may be affixed to or formed by one end of the waveguide. The radiation may have wavelengths between approximately 30 μm and 3 mm. The waveguide may comprise an inner core and an outer wall defining an annular region. A terahertz sensor system may comprise a terahertz antenna comprising first and second concentric electrodes, means for generating a field across the trodes and means for triggering the emission of terahertz radiation, a first waveguide having first and second ends, said first end being coupled to said antenna so as to receive at least a portion of said terahertz radiation, and a sensor for detecting said terahertz radiation.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A system for coupling terahertz (THz) radiation to a coaxial waveguide, comprising: an antenna that generates THz radiation having a mode that matches the mode of the waveguide, said antenna being positioned such that radiation emitted by said antenna is incident upon the waveguide. 2. The system according to claim 1 wherein the antenna comprises a pair of concentric electrodes. 3. The system according to claim 2…
