Abstract To sustain the pace with immense prominence, interest in low-loss terahertz (THz) waveguides increases due to their particular applications in the multidisciplinary arena. This paper narrates a novel solid-core polymer-based square lattice micro-structured optical fiber (SL-MOF) with circular air-holes for efficient propagation of THz waves. The anticipated model’s guiding attributes are described by employing the numerically efficient finite-element method (FEM) in conjunction with an auxiliary Ring Model. Numerical analysis of the model exhibits confinement loss of about ~ 10 -7 dB/cm and low effective material loss of ~ 0.19 cm -1 at the applied frequency of 1.0 THz. It is also demonstrated that the considered geometry furnishes low bending loss over the extended range of THz frequency. The relative sensitivity coefficient is evaluated in context for the targeted design parameters to enable the said model’s practical utility. Other nameworthy propagation characteristics, such as effective mode-index, power fraction, effective mode-area, numerical aperture, spot-size, and the beam divergence are also investigated. The improved outcomes are anticipated that the proposed configuration will be opened a new epoch in the THz waveband.

Aim of study: To understand throughfall (TF) sensitivity to variability in rainfall amount (Pg) for typical forest sites across the main climate types of Iran.Area of study: Nine forest stands of several common native and introduced tree species situated in all common Iranian climate types, but located primarily in northern Iran.Material and methods: A nondimensional relative sensitivity coefficient was employed to predict responses of TF to Pg changes. Projected Pg changes over the measurement sites for the period 2020-50 were estimated using one of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project phase 5 (CMIP5) known as HadGEM2-ES under low and high emission scenarios (RCP 2.6 and 8.5).Main results: TF displayed strong positive linear relationships with Pg at all sites [TF=0.66 Pg -0.16; R2=0.91]. The sensitivity coefficient ranged from 0.96-2.35 across the nine forest sites and large sensitivity coefficientdifferences were found between small (< mean annual Pg) and large (> mean annual Pg) storms for arid and Mediterranean plantations. Shifts in Pg and increased small storm frequency are predicted for these regions (2020-50) under low and high emission scenarios.Research highlights: TF sensitivity may be a useful variable when selecting tree species for afforestation to buffer expected shifts in Pg due to climate change.Keywords: climate change; forest ecosystems; precipitation projection; throughfall sensitivity.
