    The technologies of fabricating polymer photonics crystal fiber to suit the application needs of terahertz transmission were studied, which were related to material selecting, fiber preform fabrication and fiber drawing. According to the analyzation of optical polymers’ properties and the experimental verification, ZEONEX has low absorption of less than 3 cm-1 in Terahertz waves, low water absorption of less than 0.01%, high glass transition tempreture and decomposition temperature of 136℃ and 420℃ respectively. As for fiber preform fabrication and drawing, the model system was improved based on injection moulding, and drawing technology of Pascal level pressure auto-control was initially invented. The controlled value oscillations is no more than 1.5 Pa in the range of 10~200 Pa. Therefore the preform quality and reliability are promoted and fiber microstructure is effectively controlled. With the proposed technology it is hopeful of producing high air filling factor polymer photonics crystal fiber.
