Our research program over the past five years has targeted the advancement of terahertz (THz) technology. This work has been facilitated through several major grants and partnerships with industry leading to considerable expertise and numerous collaborations. With this new Discovery Grant application, we seek to create new technology in several promising new directions that have been identified in our prior activities. This work is centered on Guided Terahertz Technology and Systems and comprises three main areas: THz sources and detectors, THz waveguide technology and THz system integration. A major objective is to develop components and systems in which THz waves are entirely confined within waveguide structures, rather than radiating as free-space beams as is typically done in today’s systems. It is anticipated that this work will result in terahertz-based tools and instruments that will offer higher dynamic range, lower cost, and more widespread utility than today’s free-space terahertz technology.

在过去的五年里，我们的研究计划一直针对太赫兹（THz）技术的进步。这项工作得到了几项主要赠款和与工业界的伙伴关系的推动，从而产生了大量的专门知识和许多合作。通过这项新的发现资助申请，我们寻求在我们以前的活动中确定的几个有前途的新方向上创造新技术。这项工作的核心是太赫兹制导技术和系统，包括三个主要领域：太赫兹源和探测器，太赫兹波导技术和太赫兹系统集成。一个主要目标是开发组件和系统，其中太赫兹波完全限制在波导结构内，而不是像今天的系统中通常所做的那样作为自由空间光束辐射。预计这项工作将导致太赫兹为基础的工具和仪器，将提供更高的动态范围，更低的成本，更广泛的实用性比今天的自由空间太赫兹技术。
