Very-large-scale-integration of graphene terahertz modulators for non-invasive imaging - Terachip

在我们的ERC Consolidator Grant，SmartGraphene中，我们一直在开发基于石墨烯的设备来控制太赫兹辐射。我们发现，石墨烯器件可以在很宽的光谱范围内非常有效地控制太赫兹辐射的相位(~2pi)和强度(~gt；90%)。TeraChip PoC项目旨在开发一种将这些基于石墨烯的太赫兹调制器(&gt；百万像素元件)超大规模集成到单个芯片上的技术，并展示使用高密度调制器阵列和灵敏的单个探测器的太赫兹成像系统。这种方法将实现低成本的太赫兹成像，从而释放太赫兹波的全部潜力，用于非侵入性成像应用。该项目将为农业测试市场开发的技术商业化提供强有力的商业案例。该项目的预期结果是将我们的发现带到具有强大商业案例的开发阶段TRL4-5，包括技术演示

In our ERC Consolidator Grant, SmartGraphene, we have been developing graphene-based devices to control terahertz radiation. We discovered that graphene devices can control both phase (~2pi) and intensity (>90%) of THz radiation very efficiently over a broad spectrum. The TeraChip PoC project is aiming to develop a technology for very-large-scale integration of these graphene-based THz modulators (>megapixel elements) on a single chip and demonstrate a THz imaging system using the high-density modulator array and a sensitive single detector. This approach will enable low-cost THz imaging which will unlock the full potential of THz waves for non-invasive imaging applications. The project will develop a strong business case for the commercialisation of the developed technology for the agricultural testing market. The expected outcome of the project is to bring our discovery to a development stage TRL4-5 with a strong business case, including technology demonstration
