摘要 在光譜圖中位于微波段和紅外波段之間的太赫茲（THz）輻射波，很多特殊的性質，比如低能、透視、寬帶等，因此它在生物工程、光譜分析學、成像和通信工程等領域有著廣闊的應用前景。太赫茲波在傳輸介質中的吸收損耗很大，但在干燥空氣中的傳輸損耗幾乎為零，所以近些年來，人們致力研究和設計不同纖芯結構的光纖，將盡可能多的太赫茲波能量限制在空氣中傳輸，比如亞波長實芯光纖、空芯光纖、多孔光纖、多孔纖芯帶隙光纖等。另一方面，聚合物光纖在傳輸太赫茲波方面具有很多優(yōu)勢，低成本、低吸收損耗的聚合物種類繁多，設計與制備工藝簡單等。因此，關于微結構聚合物太赫茲光纖的設計、制造和特性方面的研究成為太赫茲研究領域的熱點。
本論文在系統(tǒng)介紹了太赫茲光纖基礎知識和理論研究方法的基礎上，設計并分析了一種新型的寬帶、低損耗太赫茲光纖——十字架纖芯太赫茲光纖。通過優(yōu)化光纖結構，使模式能量主要分布在十字架纖芯周圍的四個大扇形空氣孔中，降低材料吸收損耗；外圍的介質圓環(huán)將光纖固定，同時避免了外部環(huán)境對太赫茲波傳輸?shù)挠绊懀煌ㄟ^增加纖芯到介質圓環(huán)的距離降低了限制損耗，實現(xiàn)了一種在0.44THz—0.84THz頻率范圍內總損耗低于0.086dB/cm的新型太赫茲波光纖。對所設計的太赫茲光纖進行數(shù)值模擬，得到了該光纖的有效折射率、吸收損耗、限制損耗、能量分布隨頻率變化的曲線，并討論了光纖內直徑、介質層厚度對光纖傳輸特性的影響。本文提出的太赫茲光纖設計思路和方法，以及軟件模擬的具體步驟，對新型太赫茲光纖的設計、特性分析和應用具有重要意義。

Study on Cross-core Terahertz Fiber
Abstract The terahertz radiation that lies between the millimeter wave and infrared region in the electromagnetic spectrum, has huge potential for application in the field of biotechnology, spectroscopy, imaging, and communication, due to its unique characteristics——low energy, perspectivity, and broadband. Given that the absorption losses in dielectrics at the terahertz range are serious, while the dry air is almost transparent for terahertz wave propagation, many optical-fiber-type guiding designs have been developed with the main aim to force a large part of the terahertz radiation to propagation in air while still confine it to a waveguide, these include solid core subwavelength fibers, hollow-core fibers, porous core fibers, porous-core bandgap fibers.. Moreover, polymer microstructured optical fiber has a good advantage in transmitting the terahertz wave, including the large variety of the low-cost and relatively low absorption loss polymer, easy to design and fabricate. Thus, the design, fabrication and characterization of polymer microstructured optical fiber for applications in terahertz waveband has attracted extensive attention in the field of terahertz technology.
In the basis of introducing the fundamental knowledge and the finite element research method of terahertz optical fiber, a new structure of terahertz fiber with cross-core, broadband and low loss is proposed in this paper. By optimizing the fiber structure,it leads to a significant enhancement of the modal fields in the four big fan-shaped air holes, and as a consequence, reduction in the waveguide losses; using the outer tube cladding to fixed the fiber prevents the disturbance of the surrounding environment; by increasing the distance of core and tube cladding, the confinement loss was decreased,thus we provide a new type of terahertz fiber with a total loss lower than 0.086dB/cm in frequency range from 0.44THz—0.84THz. Make use of the software—COMSOL Multiphysics to carry out the step and programme of the numerical cross-core fiber, we obtain the curves among the effective index, absorption loss, confinement loss and power-percentage in air-holes and clad-background with the change of frequency. This paper provides a basic idea and a effective way to achieve a computer stimulation of the design and application of the new type terahertz optical fiber, and it important for the design, analysis and application of new types optical fiber.
