Figure 8
Simulation of a Vlasov antenna with 300 GHz central frequency. The tube has a radius of 450 µm, a layer thickness of 100 µm, and = 3.8 (fused silica). The cut angle has been varied between 25° and 65°. Lower left: perpendicular to the plane component of the Poynting flux through a plane perpendicular to forward direction. The Poynting flux is calculated by a far-field to near-field transformation into the plane with minimal r.m.s. dimensions of the pattern; k is the wavenumber. Lower right: vector components of the electric field in the far zone for = + + with = . The real and imaginary parts are shown in blue and red. |
