Terahertz Transmission Over Dielectric Waveguide for High Speed Communication

Abstract

The effort proposes to identify suitable dielectric polymer waveguides and design/test an efficient travelling-wave power coupler enabling Terahertz (THz)-frequency (300GHz) energy produced by Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor integrated circuits (CMOS ICs) to be transmitted off-chip. This is for the application of ultra-high-speed wireline communications. Addressing the "THz gap" (0.3 - 3 THz), this work will blend conventional photonics techniques in infrared (and above) spectrum with novel millimeter-wave circuit design methodologies.
