Novel terahertz electronics, photonics and plasmonics in high-mobility, low-dimensional electronic systems (HMLDES)

高迁移率、低维电子系统（HMLDES）在发展下一代电子学、光子学和等离子体学方面具有重要意义。这是由于它们非常快的响应时间和它们与电磁场的强耦合。该项目将研究HMLDES在太赫兹频率下的电子和光学特性，以寻找导致太赫兹发射和探测的新机制。这项关于HMLDES中电荷动力学、等离子体动力学和非线性光学过程的基础研究将把电子学和光学联系起来，为新的基于HMLDES的太赫兹电子、光子和等离子体器件铺平道路，这将大大扩展太赫兹技术，造福所有澳大利亚人。

High-mobility, low-dimensional electronic systems (HMLDES) are of importance in developing the next generation of electronics, photonics and plasmonics. This is due to their very rapid response time and their strong coupling with the electromagnetic field. This project will investigate the electronic and optical properties of HMLDES in the terahertz frequency regime in a search for a new mechanisms leading to terahertz emission and detection. This fundamental research on charge dynamics, plasmonics and non-linear optical processes in HMLDES will link electronics and optics, paving the way for new HMLDES-based terahertz electronic, photonic and plasmonic devices that will significantly expand terahertz technology to the benefit of all Australians.
