| Summary: | Anti-resonant fibers (ARFs) are regarded as promising waveguides for high-performance terahertz (THz) wave propagation, yet their fabrication remains a critical challenge. This work proposes an efficient processing solution for the continuous fabrication of THz ARFs based on the method of “film-to-fiber”. A thin-film-based ARF structure with a 4-mm core diameter and a 70-μm cladding thickness was proposed and continuously fabricated. A 3-m fiber sample was successfully fabricated, with low transmission loss of 0.4 dB/m at 1 THz and 0.27 dB/m at 2.52 THz. The proposed fabrication method offers a highly feasible solution for the large-scale production of high-quality THz optical fibers. |
