Compact Room Temperature Terahertz Transceivers
Hosted By: Optical Communications Technical Group
19 January 2022 14:00 - 15:00
Eastern Time (US & Canada) (UTC -05:00)Terahertz science as a separate research field appeared after the pioneering experiments of D. Auston, when he demonstrated generation and detection of terahertz (THz) radiation in a semiconductor and a nonlinear crystal. Since then, no ultimate universal THz transmitter has been demonstrated. In this webinar hosted by the Optical Communications Technical Group, Andrei Gorodetsky will give a short overview of the most popular existing THz sources with a special focus to compact sources of THz radiation operating at room temperature, and highlight the most recent ongoing research on THz transceiviers development.
Subject Matter Level: Introductory - Assumes little previous knowledge of the topic
What You Will Learn:
- Concepts of building THz sources and transceivers
- Limitations and challenges raising from components sizes
Who Should Attend:
- Researchers at any career stage wanting to learn more of emerging THz technologies;
- Researchers working with THz technologies wanting to know more about compact designs of transceivers
