Abstract

The invention provides a method for manufacturing a terahertz waveguide preform of an acute angle structure by means of a 3D printing technology. The method comprises the steps that firstly, computer cartographic software is adopted for drawing a stereo structure of the terahertz waveguide preform, then, and printing is performed by means of a 3D printer piece by piece to form the terahertz waveguide preform. The method is applicable to a majority of terahertz waveguide materials including metal or polymer and composite metamaterials thereof. Terahertz waveguide (shown in the figure) of various special-shaped cross-section structures of the acute-angle structure such as a triangle and a pentagram, the structural design freedom degree is increased, embedding of high-melting metal wires is facilitated, and the longitudinal structure of the waveguide can also be changed. The method is simple, convenient to implement and low in cost, the cross-section structures of the manufactured waveguide are abundant, the performance is excellent, and the method is applicable to large-scale industrial production and laboratory investigation, exploration and application.

Description

Technical field: [0001] The invention relates to a method for manufacturing a waveguide preform, and belongs to the technical field of terahertz waveguide preparation. It mainly involves a method for preparing a terahertz waveguide prefabricated rod by 3D printing. Background technique [0002] In recent years, the rapid development of terahertz wave source and terahertz wave signal detection technology has promoted the continuous rise of the level of terahertz wave technology system. In the absence of an effective terahertz waveguide, the terahertz wave signal in the existing terahertz wave technology system mainly relies on free space propagation, which is difficult to control and has a large loss, which greatly limits the application and promotion of the terahertz wave technology. The exploration and innovation of terahertz waveguide research has become a current research hotspot. Nurfina Yudasari of the University of Auckland and others disclosed in the article on page...
