Enhancing Australia's Terahertz Infrastructure

炭疽病、炸药、水和癌症都在太赫兹(THz)电磁频谱中具有特征特征。安全、国防、农业、医学是太赫兹科学技术蓬勃发展的几个领域。太赫兹的发展增强了国家安全、繁荣和生活质量。澳大利亚有活跃的太赫兹研究人员，他们集中在全国各地的几个中心，但由于缺乏最先进的实验设备，他们的工作受到了阻碍。该项目将提供这些设备，并确保国家在这个快速发展的领域保持国际竞争力。

Anthrax, explosives, water, cancer all have characteristic signatures in the terahertz (THz) part of the electromagnetic spectrum. Security, defence, agriculture, medicine are a few of the fields where THz science and technology are booming. THz developments offer enhanced national security, prosperity and quality of life. Australia has active researchers in THz concentrated at several centres across the country, but they are hampered by their work by lack of access to state-of-the art experimental equipment. This project will provide that equipment and ensure the nation remains internationally competitive in this rapidly-developing field.
