摘要：

We present a comprehensive experimental study comparing the propagation characteristics of the virtually unknown TE1 mode to the well-known TEM mode of the parallel-plate waveguide (PPWG), for THz pulse applications. We demonstrate that it is possible to overcome the undesirable effects caused by the TE1 mode's inherent low-frequency cutoff, making it a viable THz wave-guiding option, and that for certain applications, the TE1 mode may even be more desirable than the TEM mode. This study presents a whole new dimension to the THz technological capabilities offered by the PPWG, via the possible use of the TE1 mode. (C) 2009 Optical Society of America
