Title: Spoof-SPP enabled novel electromagnetic devices

Abstract: Spoof surface plasmon polaritons (SSPP) is an important surface electromagnetic mode, which promises in enabling miniaturized devices. In this talk, we will introduce two types of SSPP-enabled novel devices, i.e. enhanced terahertz photoconductive antenna, and robust topological waveguides. The former one shows increased directivity than its conventional counterparts, which is an ultrabroadband THz source. The latter one, an emerging device, exhibits immunities against disorders or sharp bends.
