A polymer-based, Cytop planar photonic crystal waveguide (PPCW) was designed for guiding terahertz radiation. Results indicate that the propagation and coupling losses in the 0.2-1.1 THz range are relatively small for a sheetlike thickness design. Spectral analysis of the transmission data reveals f...
