This range is a largely underexplored spectral region in which we pursue both applied and fundamental research. On these pages you will find information on the research that we do, the courses that we give, the people that are in our group and, and the projects that students can work on. Above is one of our recent results. We used THz radiation to look through a codekey. THz radiation easily passes through the plastic, but is blocked by the small magnets inside.
White spots indicate positions where there are no magnets.
As you can see, we have the ability to look inside things. You'll find more THz images at the Teravision page . Look here for a picture of the setup. Using a rapid-scanning technique in conjunction with fast modulation of the THz emitter, a 15 picosecond temporal scan of a THz pulse is obtained in approximately 1 second.
