Detection sensitivity will be optimized through the improvement of THz signal collection with plasmonic antennas to funnel the THz radiation towards the active area of the receiver. Following the scientific demonstration of the THz receiver, the Project team will develop the concept for real-life applications, working with industry to design a compact and stable receiver able to operate at specific THz frequencies, avoiding water vapour absorption in air for its operation at a medium to high relative humidity index., description french : Détection à haute sensibilité des ondes térahertz, expected results english : In the short term, anticipated outcomes will be strengthened collaborations across industry, academia, and government to support research excellence. In the medium term, anticipated outcomes will be the development of new and potentially disruptive technologies with collaborators. In the long term, find collaborative solutions to public policy challenges and create stronger innovation systems., expected results french : À court terme, les résultats prévus seront des collaborations renforcées entre l'industrie, le milieu universitaire et le gouvernement pour soutenir l'excellence en recherche. À moyen terme, les résultats attendus seront le développement de nouvelles technologies potentiellement perturbatrices avec des collaborateurs. À long terme, trouver des solutions collaboratives aux défis des politiques publiques et créer des systèmes d'innovation plus solides., additional information english : This agreement has been amended 2 time(s).
