Advanced materials and structures for terahertz science and technology

炭疽、爆炸物、水、癌症都在电磁频谱的太赫兹（THz）部分具有特征信号。安全，国防，农业，医学是THz科学技术蓬勃发展的一些领域。THz的发展增强了国家安全，繁荣和生活质量。 缺乏强的太赫兹辐射源是阻碍太赫兹方法广泛应用的主要因素。 在这个项目中，两个大学研究团队合作开发更高效的THz发射器。达姆施塔特团队将准备新的材料和结构，卧龙岗团队将评估它们并为下一次迭代提供反馈。

Anthrax, explosives, water, cancer all have characteristic signatures in the terahertz (THz) part of the electromagnetic spectrum. Security, defence, agriculture, medicine are some of the fields where THz science and technology are booming. THz developments offer enhanced national security, prosperity and quality of life. The lack of strong sources of THz radiation is the main factor hampering wider application of THz methods. In this project two university research teams come together to develop more efficient THz emitters. The Darmstadt team will prepare novel materials and structures and the Wollongong team will evaluate them and provide feedback for the next iteration.
