Breaking bandwidth barriers: Non-volatile tuneable terahertz metamaterials

本项目的目的是在相变材料开发的基础上，研究非挥发性可调谐太赫兹(THz)超材料。可调谐的基于超材料的太赫兹器件，如滤波器和调制器，可以为无线应用产生重要的下游知识产权。这满足了桌面设备之间不断增长的更大带宽需求的迫切需求。预期成果包括了解太赫兹信号与相变材料、可调超材料以及能够以前所未有的灵活性和紧凑性操纵和调制太赫兹信号的设备之间的相互作用，从而实现未来类似蓝牙的高带宽数据传输。

This project aims to investigate non-volatile tuneable terahertz (THz) metamaterials, based on the exploitation of phase change materials. Tuneable metamaterial-based THz devices, such as filters and modulators, could generate significant downstream intellectual property for wireless applications. This fills a critical need to meet the increasing demand for greater bandwidth between desktop devices. Expected outcomes include understanding the interaction between THz signals and phase change materials, tuneable metamaterials, and devices that can steer and modulate THz signals with unprecedented agility and compactness, enabling future high-bandwidth Bluetooth-like data transfer.
