Terahertz Field Localization Using Slot Dielectric Waveguide Implemented in Silicon-On-Glass (SOG) Technology

Slot dielectric waveguide implemented in Si-OnGlass (SOG) technology is presented for field localization at the THz frequency range. The waveguide characteristics are studied using simulations. Moreover, waveguide dimensions are optimized to maximize the field localization. The presented structure can be a platform for highly sensitive THz sensors and high performance THz nonlinear devices.
