The framework for designing and fabricating a slow-light waveguide structure with conical Swiss roll metamaterial core at Terahertz frequencies has been carried out in this article. In the earliest work, theoretical backgrounds based on Maxwell’s equations have been developed for anisotropic single-negative permeability slab waveguides and anisotropic metamaterial slab waveguides. Subsequently, simulation results fulfilled by the MATLAB programming tool verify extremely low group velocities in the aforementioned slab waveguides in the Terahertz regime frequency. A volumetric conical Swiss roll metamaterial has been proposed as a practical achievement for slow-light waveguides. Dispersion characteristics of the electromagnetic waves in the proposed conical Swiss roll metamaterial have been investigated using the CST simulation tool in Terahertz frequencies. Furthermore, a 2-D dispersion diagram fulfilled by CST and MATLAB validates highly electromagnetic field concentration as well as the presence of backward waves in the conical Swiss roll configuration.
