THz wave Mux/DeMux operation using bearded-type topological photonic crystal waveguide structure

Abstract Terahertz (THz)wave wireless communication technologies have been developed to increase transmission capacity in 6G communications. Although the realization of integrated waveguides in THz wave transmitters and receivers is essential, bending loss in THz waveguides is important as well. This study investigated a THz waveguide based on a valley photonic crystal (VPC) structure. We numerically investigated a THz waveguide with sharp bending and Mux/DeMux filters based on the oblique rectangular resonator of a bearded-type VPC waveguide.
