Abstract

We study the propagation of terahertz bandwidth electrical pulses on high critical current density c‐axis oriented YBa₂Cu₃O_7−δ (YBCO) coplanar transmission lines deposited epitaxially on the low dielectric loss substrate lanthanum aluminate (LaAlO₃). The losses on the YBCO transmission line are lower than on an equivalent gold line on the same substrate at temperatures below 50 K. At higher temperatures, absorption and dispersion of the ultrashort electrical pulses are observed in reasonable agreement with Mattis–Bardeen theory.
