Summary:THz technologies developments into practice are limited by the absence of commercially available THz endoscopic systems. Previously, the transmission properties of waveguides, fibers and even fiber bundles based on shaped sapphire were studied. Sapphire hollow-core waveguides are suitable for efficient radiation transmission with minimal losses and for applications in endoscopy of hard-to-access objects and highresolution imaging.
