Development of high performance III-V semiconductor photoconductive antennas for terahertz applications

太赫兹(THz)辐射的实际应用包括用于材料表征的科学探测、武器、爆炸物和生物危害的筛选、隐蔽物体的成像和医学诊断、化学和生物分析、天文学和空间研究。该项目的成功将创造出对上述应用至关重要的新一代高性能太赫兹发射器/探测器，为国家在科学、技术、卫生、安全和经济领域做出巨大贡献。

The practical applications of terahertz (THz) radiation include scientific probing for material characterisation, screening for weapons, explosives and biohazards, imaging for concealed objects and medical diagnostics, chemical and biological analysis, astronomy and space research. The success of this project will lead to the creation of a new generation of high performance THz emitters/detectors essential for above applications, making great contribution to the Nation in the areas of science, technology, health, security and economy.
