This project proposes novel low-cost miniature devices for spectroscopic, spatial, and temporal manipulation of infrared and terahertz waves, which are important for security and short range communication applications. By enabling the modulation of infrared and terahertz signals, the intended outcome is a platform for imaging applications, detection of chemical composition of objects, and future high-bandwidth communications. Using microfabrication techniques, the project plans to create metamaterials integrated with micro-electro-mechanical systems, which dynamically vary their electromagnetic properties. This technology would enable the creation of new devices that can controllably absorb, reflect or transmit infrared and terahertz signals.

该项目提出了用于红外和太赫兹波的光谱、空间和时间操作的新型低成本微型设备，这对安全和短距离通信应用具有重要意义。通过实现红外和太赫兹信号的调制，预期的结果是为成像应用、物体化学成分检测和未来的高带宽通信提供一个平台。利用微细加工技术，该项目计划创造与微电子机械系统集成的超材料，这些系统可以动态地改变其电磁特性。这项技术将创造出能够可控地吸收、反射或传输红外和太赫兹信号的新设备。
