Between microwaves and visible light lies the terahertz gap - the least explored region of the electromagnetic spectrum. Yet the THz region is precisely where many materials exhibit characteristic signatures that allow them to be detected and identified. For example, anthrax, explosives, water, DNA, plastics, and carcinomas all have distinctive THz signatures. THz methods are revolutionizing medicine, agriculture, industry, and national security. Wider application is hampered by the lack of powerful sources of THz radiation. We aim to develop more efficient emitters of THz radiation. The national economy, security, and well-being will benefit.

在微波和可见光之间存在太赫兹间隙，这是电磁光谱中探索最少的区域。然而，太赫兹区域正是许多材料展示特征特征的地方，这些特征使它们能够被检测和识别。例如，炭疽、炸药、水、DNA、塑料和癌症都有独特的太赫兹信号。太赫兹方法正在给医学、农业、工业和国家安全带来革命性的变化。由于缺乏强大的太赫兹辐射源，更广泛的应用受到阻碍。我们的目标是开发更高效的太赫兹辐射发射器。国家经济、安全和福祉都将受益。
