Thus telephone lines and power distribution lines are typical examples of transmission lines; in electronics, however, the term usually implies a line used for the transmission of radio-frequency (r.f.) energy such as that from a radio transmitter to the antenna. An important feature of a transmission line is that it should guide energy from a source at the sending end to a load at the receiving end without loss by radiation. One form of construction often used consists of two similar conductors mounted close together at a constant separation. The two conductors form the two sides of a balanced circuit and any radiation from one of them is neutralized by that from the other. Such twin-wire lines are used for carrying high r.f. power, for example, at transmitters.

However, they cannot be used to carry cur- rents in the radio frequency range,[1] above about 30 kHz, because the energy tends to radiate off the cable as radio waves, causing power losses. Radio frequency cur- rents also tend to reflect from discontinuities in the ca- ble such as connectors and joints, and travel back down Schematic of a wave moving rightward down a lossless two-wire the cable toward the source.[1][2] These reflections act as transmission line. Black dots represent electrons, and the arrows bottlenecks, preventing the signal power from reaching show the electric field. the destination. Transmission lines use specialized con- struction, and impedance matching, to carry electromag- netic signals with minimal reflections and power losses. The distinguishing feature of most transmission lines is that they have uniform cross sectional dimensions along their length, giving them a uniform impedance, called the characteristic impedance,[2][3][4] to prevent reflections. Types of transmission line include parallel line (ladder line, twisted pair), coaxial cable, and planar transmis- sion lines such as stripline and microstrip.[5][6] The higher the frequency of electromagnetic waves moving through a given cable or medium, the shorter the wavelength of the waves.

  • Master Thesis Towards On-Chip Thz Spectroscopy of Quantum Materials
    UNIVERSITÄT HAMBURG FAKULTÄT FÜR MATHEMATIK, INFORMATIK UND NATURWISSENSCHAFTEN Master Thesis Towards on-chip THz spectroscopy of quantum materials and heterostructures Gunda Kipp [email protected] Degree Course: Physics Student ID Number: 6665148 Semesters of Study: 11 1st Supervisor: PD Guido Meier 2nd Supervisor: Professor Andrea Cavalleri December 5th, 2019 Abstract On-chip THz spectroscopy is a powerful tool to investigate the low-energy dynam- ics of solids. THz pulses generated by photoconductive switches are confined to the near-field by metallic transmission lines, which allows studying micrometer sized het- erostructures of different van der Waals materials. Routing sub-picosecond electrical pulses over several millimeters requires a transmission line geometry that avoids dis- persion and damping. In this thesis, different geometries are fabricated and character- ized to optimize the propagation of THz pulses for on-chip measurements. In addition, electromagnetic simulations are performed and compared to measured data. The transmission lines are fabricated by optical lithography, thermal evaporation, and lift-off processing. This includes the integration of a heater stage in the thermal evaporator to grow high-quality metal / oxide substrates. The novel transmission line geometry developed for on-chip spectroscopy measurements provides improved sig- nal propagation and a rather simple fabrication process. To implement on-chip THz spectroscopy in complementary experiments, the photo- conductive switches are required to be operated without direct optical access. In the framework of this thesis, first steps are taken to integrate the on-chip circuitry into a scanning near field optical microscopy (SNOM) setup at the Columbia University in New York. Triggering photoconductive switches with fiber-coupled laser pulses is tested and a stage is designed that allows sample mounting, beam alignment, as well as focusing via fiber optics in the SNOM.

K. Verma, Paramjeet Singh* Department of Electronic Science University of Delhi South Campus, New Delhi 110021, India Abstract In this paper, the quasi-static spectral domain approach (SDA) and single layer reduction (SLR) method applicable for multilayer coplanar waveguide (CPW) on isotropic dielectric substrate that incorporates two layer model of conductor thickness is used to compute the impedance, effective dielectric constant, dielectric loss and conductor loss. The transverse transmission line (TTL) technique is used to find the Green’s function for the multilayer CPW in Fourier domain. Die lectric loss of multilayer coplanar waveguide is computed by converting multilayer CPW structure into equivalent single layer CPW using SLR method. Perturbation method is used to compute the conductor loss. The effect of finite conductor thickness is analysed on the impedance, effective dielectric constant, dielectric loss and conductor loss. The present formulation also accounts for low frequency dispersion in computation of quasi-static effective dielectric constant and characteristic impedance.
