TERAhertz links using SOlid state devices and photoNICs

自10年来，世界上的几个实验室对使用太赫兹频率(&gt；200 GHz)的新型高速无线传输系统进行了密集的研究行动。TERASONIC的主要特点是在这一竞争非常激烈的研究领域中由德国和法国的知名合作伙伴组成的协会。双方都展示了300 GHz频段最先进的太赫兹系统演示器，在德国一侧使用固态电子设备进行高输出功率发射器和低噪声接收器，在法国一侧使用光子器件用于宽带、高动态范围发射器，利用国家项目成果。汇聚两国的专业知识，我们的目标是在完全协作的太赫兹链路中结合和利用光子和电子技术的独特优势，以实现远远超出最先进水平的性能，即在300 GHz下的100 Gbps、实时性能、高动态范围和系统裕度，作为迈向可靠太赫兹通信系统的有力一步，并遵循预计于2019年出台的第一个太赫兹频段无线电法规。

Since 10 years, intensive research actions have taken place in several labs in the world towards new high speed wireless transmission systems using THz frequencies (> 200 GHz). TERASONIC key feature is the association of well-known German and French partners in this very competitive field of research. Both partners demonstrated state-of-the-art THz system demonstrators in the 300 GHz band, using solid-state electronics for high output power transmitters and low-noise receivers on the German side, and photonic devices for wideband, high dynamic range transmitters on the French side, leveraging national project outcomes. Gathering the two countries expertise, our objective is to combine and exploit the unique strengths of photonic and electronic technologies in full-collaborative THz links to achieve performance well beyond the state-of-the-art, namely 100 Gbps+ at 300 GHz, real-time performance, high dynamic range and system margin, as a strong step towards reliable THz communication systems, and acting on first THz band radio regulations expected in 2019.
