Paper Abstract
We report measurements for hollow core kagome microstructured Terahertz (THz) fiber characterized with the THz-time
domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS). To achieve good mode overlap between the input beam and the fiber mode
distribution, we incorporate specially designed THz lenses in our experimental setup. The experimental observations
show that only the fundamental mode is guided in the fiber core. The time domain scans and their spectral information
show air-guidance over a large frequency range from 0.6 to at least 1.1 THz. Within this frequency bandwidth, low
transmission amplitudes at certain frequencies are identified as the frequency cut-offs for the kagome structure is
observed. The measured transmission of the kagome fibers shows the characteristics of the inhibited coupling
mechanism. We estimate high coupling efficiencies, as high as 60%, have been achieved in our experiments.
