Abstract

See full text

A waveguide with a hollow core (16) delimited by a closed contour includes a succession of arcs (20) of negative curvature, each arc including a chord (24), characterized in that the contour of the hollow core (16) includes small arcs (PA) and large arcs (GA) arranged alternately, each arc (20) being symmetric with respect to a straight line passing through the center (18) of the hollow core (16) and the middle of the chord (24) thereof, the ratio b=2Ra/C of the large arcs being greater than 0.9 for the large arcs (GA), Ra corresponding to the maximum distance between the chord (24) and the arc (20), C corresponding to the length of the chord (24).
