2017 Selby Travelling Fellowship About the talk

Historically, terahertz (or T-ray) technologies were mainly used by the astronomy community for detecting the cosmic background left behind after the Big Bang. Since the first demonstration of terahrtzwave time-domain spectroscopy in the late 80’s, there has been a series of significant recent advances in intense terahertz sources and sensitive detectors providing new opportunities for understanding the fundamental science of the terahertz frequency range. Now, this region of the electromagnetic spectrum from 0.3 to 10 THz (ie. 1 mm –...
