Terahertz Spoof Surface Plasmon Polariton Waveguides: A Comprehensive Model with Experimental Verification

Abstract Spoof surface plasmon polariton waveguides are perfect candidates to enable novel, miniaturized terahertz integrated systems, which will expedite the next-generation ultra-wideband communications, high-resolution imaging and spectroscopy applications. In this paper, we introduce, for the fi...
