Polymer compounds from titania-doped polyethylene are fabricated and their linear optical properties characterized by THz-TDS. We show that high concentration of dopants not only enhances the refractive index of the composite material, but also can dramatically raise its absorption coefficient. We demonstrate that the design of Bragg reflectors based on lossy composite polymers depends on finding a compromise between index contrast and corresponding losses. A small absorption value is also shown to be favorable, compared to an ideal lossless reflector, as it enables to smooth the transmission passbands. Transmission measurements of a fabricated hollowcore Bragg fiber confirm simulation results.
