- Spoof surface polariton (SPP) based waveguides are commonplace alternatives to closed waveguides in the microwave region. But, in the microwave region, conventional machining techniques can produce unwanted subwavelength surface roughness. We show this does not happen in the THz region. This paper, we believe for the first time, reports on the role of defects (both the coupling and scattering of spoof SPPs) in and out of low-cost 3D printed surfaces. These findings open up the possibility for higher integration and denser packaging of photonic interconnects at THz frequencies which will potentially allow more efficient production.
