Abstract
Millimeter wave transmission lines are disclosed for propagating electromagnetic waves of a wavelength ranging from about 10 mm to about 0.4 mm. The transmission lines comprise a fiber of co-crystallized thallium bromo-iodide consisting of from about 40 mole percent to about 46 mole percent thallium bromide and from about 60 mole percent to about 54 mole percent thallium iodide. The fiber may be cladded with a dielectric material having a dielectric constant less than that of the fiber. A number of alternate fiber and cladding cross-sectional configurations are disclosed including circular, square, rectangular, and elliptical.
