Surface plasmon polaritons(SPPs) with the features of subwavelength confinement and strong enhancements have sparked enormous interest. However, in the terahertz regime, due to the perfect conductivities of most metals, it is hard to realize the strong confinement of SPPs, even though the propagation loss could be sufficiently low. One main approach to circumvent this problem is to exploit spoof SPPs, which are expected to exhibit useful subwavelength confinement and relative low propagation loss at terahertz frequencies. Here we report the design,fabrication, and characterization of terahertz spoof SPP waveguides based on corrugated metal surfaces. The various waveguide components, including a straight waveguide, an S-bend waveguide, a Y-splitter, and a directional coupler, were experimentally demonstrated using scanning near-field terahertz microscopy. The proposed waveguide indeed enables propagation, bending, splitting, and coupling of terahertz SPPs and thus paves a new way for the development of flexible and compact plasmonic circuits operating at terahertz frequencies.

为确定500 m口径球面射电望远镜(Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope,FAST)与其周边公众移动通信(Public Mobile Telecommunications,PMT)系统的电磁兼容(electromagnetic compatibility,EMC)特性,本文综合论述了FAST宁静区内中国移动、中国联通和中国电信三大运营商所属PMT基站对其产生的电磁干扰。首先,从射电天文业务的频谱划分谈起,论述了射电天文业务干扰源类型,引出了其运行保护标准,进而针对FAST详细说明了FAST宁静区的用频法规和保护要求;其次,分析了ITU-R建议电波传播预测与干扰分析方法,并通过实地测量验证了该方法的适用性,进一步针对性地分析了PMT基站的电磁辐射传播特性,综合评估了FAST宁静区内PMT基站的干扰情况:FAST宁静区域90.24%的PMT基站在一定程度上均会对FAST产生干扰,而在所选分析条件下,仅有43.14%的数据符合FAST保护要求;最后,针对PMT基站干扰信号的抑制和消除,分析了常用的射电天文射频干扰抑制方法,同时为保障FAST免受PMT基站干扰,从FAST和PMT基站的角度出发论述了可行的用频防护措施,并基于实施难度、经济成本、策略收益和通信质量4类指标建立了防护方法的评估体系,对所提防护方法进行了实例说明。上述研究成果可为保障FAST的安全观测提供技术基础。
