Abstract

In this paper, we present the propagation characteristics of
Fluoropolymer based Photonic Crystal Fiber (PCF) exhibiting guiding properties in terahertz region. The variation of effective index of guided mode and dispersion with wavelength in hexagonal lattice Fluoropolymer PCF are investigated by using the fully-vectorial finite element method (FEM).
