Analytical and simulation modeling of terahertz waveguides and sensors based upon plasmonic and metamaterial structures

Abstract

Plasmonics and metamaterials have emerged as one of the most fascinating areas in photonics because of their significance in developing next generation miniaturized high speed components and sensitive devices In the thesis work the focus has been made in investigating the potential of plasmonic and metamaterial structures in the design and construction of terahertz waveguides and thin film sensors We have proposed a planar plasmonic terahertz waveguide comprising of one dimensional array of s
