We present an easily fabricated waveguide prism for the terahertz (THz) frequency range. The prism is made of polypropylene and uses waveguide dispersion to spatially separate frequencies over the range of 0.1 to 0.7 THz. The diffraction properties of the prism were determined using electromagnetic field simulations and the waveguide parameters were ...

TE/TM-Pass Polarizer Based on Lithium Niobate on Insulator Ridge Waveguide
We propose a TE/TM-pass polarizer based on a shallow X-cut lithium niobate-on-insulator (LNOI) ridge waveguide. In shallow X-cut LNOI ridge waveguides, the leaky mode is interchanged between TE and TM polarization waves depending on the ridge waveguide ...
