Abstract
A metallic hollow waveguide with inner dielectric multilayers is proposed for the transmission of infrared light and its basic transmission characteristics are fully analyzed by using a two-dimensional slab waveguide model. The power loss in the waveguide is shown to be extremely reduced by coating dielectric layers properly. Simple loss formulas are also presented which consider absorptions of dielectric materials, and minimum possible losses are theoretically estimated. Finally, relations to bending losses in the waveguide are discussed.Keywords
