Abstract
A transition to couple an antenna to spoof plasmon-polariton waveguides at terahertz frequencies is presented. The optimization of the transition is discussed. Examples of how antenna coupling can enable THz on-chip applications are given in a biosensor and a phase shifter. The sensing of deeply subwavelength biological cells demonstrates the high sensitivity to even small concentrations of bacteria. And while the phase shifter only exhibits a small angle range, its high transmission, and easy integration makes it suitable for applications such as an on-chip phased array.
