Waveguide characterization of dielectric materials is a convenient and broadband approach for measuring dielectric constant. In conventional microwave measurements, material samples are usually mechanically shaped to fit the waveguide opening and measured in closed waveguides. This method is not practical for millimeter-wave and sub-millimeter-wave measurements where the waveguide openings become tiny, and it is rather difficult to shape the sample to exactly the same dimensions as the waveguide cross-section. In this paper, we present a method that allows one to measure arbitrarily shaped dielectric slabs that extend outside waveguides. In this method, the measured sample is placed between two waveguide flanges, creating a discontinuity. The measurement system is characterized as an equivalent Pi-circuit, and the circuit elements of the Pi-circuit are extracted from the scattering parameters. We have found that the equivalent shunt impedance of the measured sample is only determined by the material permittivity and is rather insensitive to the sample shape, position, sizes, and other structural details of the discontinuity. This feature can be leveraged for accurate measurements of permittivity. The proposed method is very useful for measuring the permittivity of medium-loss and high-loss dielectrics from microwave to sub-terahertz frequencies.

We report two novel fabrication techniques, as well as spectral transmission and propagation loss measurements of the subwavelength plastic wires with highly porous (up to 86%) and non-porous transverse geometries. The two fabrication techniques we d
escribe are based on the microstructured molding approach. In one technique the mold is made completely from silica by stacking and fusing silica capillaries to the bottom of a silica ampoule. The melted material is then poured into the silica mold to cast the microstructured preform. Another approach uses microstructured mold made of plastic which is co-drawn with a cast preform. Material of the mold is then dissolved after fiber drawing. We also describe a novel THz-TDS setup with an easily adjustable optical path length, designed to perform cutback measurements using THz fibers of up to 50 cm in length. We find that while both porous and non-porous subwavelength fibers of the same outside diameter have low propagation losses (alpha leg 0.02cm-1), however, the porous fibers exhibit a much wider spectral transmission window and enable transmission at higher frequencies compared to the non-porous fibers. We then show that the typical bell-shaped transmission spectra of the subwavelengths fibers can be very well explained by the onset of material absorption loss at higher frequencies due to strong confinement of the modal fields in the material region of the fiber, as well as strong coupling loss at lower frequencies due to mismatch of the modal field diameter and a size of the gaussian-like beam of a THz source.
We closely study the local amplifications of visible light on a thin dielectric slab presenting a sub-wavelength array of small, rectangular, bottom-closed holes. The high-quality Fabry-Perot resonances of eigen modes which vertically oscillate, and
their corresponding near-field maps, especially inside the voids, are numerically quantified with RCWA and analytically interpreted through a quasi-exact modal expansion. This last method gives explicit opto-geometrical rules allowing to finely understand the general trends in 1D and 2D. In more advanced examples, we show that multi-cavity and/or slightly thicker two-dimensional gratings may generate anomalously frequency-susceptible surfaces over a broad spectral range. Also, dielectric membranes a few nanometers thick only, can catch light, with tremendous enhancements of the electric field intensity ($>10^6$) that largely extends in the surrounding space.
Studies were made into the arise and an evolution of the beam breakup (BBU) instability in a rectangular dielectric resonator under excitation by a sequence of relativistic electron bunches. The dielectric resonator is a metal rectangular waveguide $
R_{26}$ $(45mmtimes 90mm)$ with Teflon dielectric slabs $8.2mm$ thick (dielectric constant $varepsilon=2.051$) located along the wide side of the resonator. The wavelength of the $LM_{21}$ operating mode having a symmetric profile of the longitudinal electric field component is $53.2mm$. The electron energy of bunches is $4.5MeV$ , the charge of each bunch is $6.4nC$, the bunch repetition period is equal to twice the wavelength of the $LM_{21}$ mode. By the use of numerical PIC simulations, the charge losses of electron bunches on the dielectric plates were investigated as the bunches were displaced relative to the cavity axis. It is found that the charge losses on the dielectric slabs due to the BBU instability do not exceed $5%$. When the bunch repetition period is changed to a multiple of another eigenfrequency (e.g., the $LM_{11}$ mode), the charge losses of drive bunches do not change appreciably.
Inspired by the ever-increasing demand for higher data transmission rates and the tremendous attention toward all-optical signal processing based on miniaturized nanophotonics, in this paper, for the first time, we investigate the integrable design o
f coherent ultrashort light pulse code-division multiple-access (CDMA) technique, also known as femtosecond CDMA, using all-dielectric metasurfaces (MSs). In this technique, the data bits are firstly modulated using ultrashort femtosecond optical pulses generated by mode-locked lasers, and then by employing a unique phase metamask for each data stream, in order to provide the multiple access capability, the optical signals are spectrally encoded. This procedure spreads the optical signal in the temporal domain and generates low-intensity pseudo-noise bursts through random phase coding leading to minimized multiple access interference. This paper comprehensively presents the principles and design approach to realize fundamental components of a typical femtosecond CDMA encoder, including the grating, lens, and phase mask, by employing high-contrast CMOS-compatible MSs. By controlling the interference between the provided Mie and Fabry-Perot resonance modes, we tailor the spectral and spatial responses of the impinging light locally and independently. Accordingly, we design a MS-based grating with the highest possible refracted angle and, in the meantime, the maximized efficiency which results in a reasonable diameter for the subsequent lens. Moreover, to design our MS-based lens commensurate with the spot size and distance requirements of the pursuant phase mask, we leverage a new optimization method which splits the lens structure into central and peripheral parts, and then design the peripheral part using a collection of gratings converging the impinging at the subsequent phase mask.
Temporally-modulated electron beams have a wide array of applications ranging from the generation of coherently-enhanced electromagnetic radiation to the resonant excitation of electromagnetic wakefields in advanced-accelerator concepts. Likewise pro
ducing low-energy ultrashort microbunches could be useful for ultra-fast electron diffraction and new accelerator-based light-source concepts. In this Letter we propose and experimentally demonstrate a passive microbunching technique capable of forming a picosecond bunch train at $sim 6$~MeV. The method relies on the excitation of electromagnetic wakefields as the beam propagates through a dielectric-lined waveguide. Owing to the non-ultrarelativistic nature of the beam, the induced energy modulation eventually converts into a density modulation as the beam travels in a following free-space drift. The modulated beam is further accelerated to $sim20$~MeV while preserving the imparted density modulation.
