T-ray factory: a new Australian source of strong, pulsed, broadband, terahertz radiation

澳大利亚科学家和工程师需要立即获得前沿T射线（太赫兹辐射）技术，以解决半导体纳米结构中的紧迫问题以及生物物理和国家安全等不同领域的新问题。 最近的创新现在通过将超快光脉冲应用于光电导或电光介质来实现太赫兹辐射的爆发，从而促进了无与伦比的时间分辨光谱学和成像。 将在卧龙岗购买和安装的最先进的设备将增强现有的优秀太赫兹基础设施（独特的光谱仪，光泵浦分子激光器），并有效地为动态悉尼（UTS，UNSW）-卧龙岗（UoW）-堪培拉（ANU）走廊的研究人员提供服务。

Australian scientists and engineers require immediate access to frontier T-ray (terahertz radiation) technology to solve pressing current problems in semiconductor nanostructures and emerging problems in fields as diverse as biophysics and national security. Recent innovations now make practical the production of bursts of terahertz radiation by applying ultrafast optical pulses to photoconductive or electro-optic media, facilitating unparalleled time-resolved spectroscopy and imaging. The state-of-the-art equipment to be purchased and installed at Wollongong will enhance the existing excellent terahertz infrastructure (unique spectrometers, optically-pumped molecular laser) and efficiently service researchers in the dynamic Sydney (UTS, UNSW) - Wollongong (UoW) - Canberra (ANU) corridor.
