Abstract
A helical structural support scheme is proposed to mechanically support dielectric layers in a hollow-core terahertz Bragg waveguide by means of an axially rotating wrap-around strip structure. The helical-strip supported waveguide samples are fabricated using 3D printing technology, and the waveguide samples are experimentally tested using a terahertz time-domain spectroscopy system. The results show that choosing a suitable helix period can obtain loss characteristics close to those of an ideal Bragg waveguide, with a low transmission loss of less than 0.097dB/m in the range of 0.57-0.58THz.
