contents Inspired by the design concept of negative curvature hollow-core fibers, this paper presents an innovative negative curvature suspended-core THz fiber. Compared to traditional suspended-core fibers, all structural units of this fiber are designed with circular boundaries, effectively avoiding the issues of insufficient mechanical strength and manufacturing difficulties associated with the wide and thin rectangular support arms in traditional structures. The numerical simulation using the full-vector finite element method shows that the optical fiber loss is as low as 0.02cm-1 in 0.66-1.09THz, and the low loss bandwidth is 0.43THz. In addition, near-zero flat dispersion of -0.08-0.74 ps/THz/cm can be achieved. The fiber exhibits excellent characteristics of low loss, wide bandwidth, and low dispersion, theoretically opening a new research path for the design of low-loss THz fibers.
