We investigated the propagation of singleand multi-mode terahertz (THz) radiation through a parallel-plate waveguide for various gap sizes of the plates and polarizations of the incoming THz eld. Single TEM (TM0) and TE1 modes within the 4-THz frequency range propagated through a waveguide with a plate separation of 103 m. Multi TE and TM modes were observed for a 360m separation. High-order mo...

To make clear the mode conversion behavior of S0-mode lamb wave and SH0-plate wave converting to the longitudinal mode guided wave and torsional mode guided wave in a pipe, respectively, the experiments were performed based on a previous built pipe inspection system. The pipe was wound with an L-shaped plate or a T-shaped plate as the waveguide, and the S0-wave and SH0-wave were excited separat...

Chip-based photonic quantum computing is an emerging technology that promises much speedup over conventional computers at small integration volumes. Particular interest is thereby given to polarisation-encoded photonic qubits, and many protocols have been developed for this encoding. However, arbitrary wave plate operation on chip are not available so far, preventing from the implementation of ...

[1] The subducting Pacific plate acts an efficient waveguide for high-frequency signals and often produces anomalously large intensity on the eastern seaboard of northern Japan during deep earthquakes. The waveform records in the region of high intensity show a low-frequency (f < 0.25 Hz) onset for both P and S waves, followed by large, highfrequency (f > 2 Hz) later arrivals with a long coda. ...
