We demonstrate innovative technologies within the terahertz (0.3 – 10 THz) spectra with applications ranging from basic science to future wireless sensors and communication systems. Today, terahertz technology is an indispensable tool for space science, hoping to gain fundamental knowledge of the origin of our universe and for atmospheric science, which is directly related to the environmental challenge and climate change effects.
Sandwiched between the visible light on the short wavelength side and radio waves on the long wavelength extreme, the sub-millimetre wave radiation or terahertz wave radiation has long been considered the last uncharted scientific gap in the electromagnetic spectrum. This is the part of the spectrum where optical and microwave techniques meet. Our research aims to close the THz-gap and light up the last dark region of the electromagnetic spectrum.
Research topics
With a strong heritage in instrumentation for radio astronomy, we focus our research on the following main topics:
Low noise devices and circuits
Graphene terahertz electronics
Superconducting terahertz detectors
Terahertz techniques for life science applications
Terahertz electronics and systems
We fabricate unique terahertz components in our state-of-the-art Nanofabrication facility at MC2 and evaluate demonstrators in our top-class terahertz characterisation facility (Kollberg laboratory). Our educational activities include circuit theory, microwave engineering, physics, microelectronics, and semiconductor device physics courses at undergraduate and graduate levels.
