Outline of Final Research Achievements

The object of this study is the development of THz-wave manipulation by controlling shape of THz maveguides fabricated by metal wires and of novel THz near-field probing technique. We developed a new method for high-power terahertz vector beam generation which can enlarge the intensity of THz wave which is coupled to a THz waveguide. We also improved our 3D printer for the development of THz waveguides. We succeeded to make hollow waveguides, by using our 3D printing and metal plating, in which THz wave which frequency is higher than 1 THz can propagate at the first time.
