Project description
Staff exchange accelerates innovation in terahertz radiation control
The terahertz (THz) region of the electromagnetic spectrum has become a key area of interest due to its diverse range of applications including non-destructive sensing and imaging (e.g. passenger scanning at airports and medical diagnosis/treatment) and high-speed communications. The THz radiation devices market is expected to grow exponentially over the next few years. With the support of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions programme, the TeraHertz project will foster international staff exchange of funded researchers among world-leading academic and industrial organisations to accelerate development of novel technologies and materials for THz radiation control. A range of materials will be considered for a comprehensive investigation of potential applications in electro/acousto/quasi-optical devices.
Objective
The project focuses on developing novel technologies and materials characterization that are to be used synergistically to create advanced possibilities for terahertz radiation control. International team expertized in materials synthesis and terahertz science will direct its efforts towards the development of innovative quasi-optical technologies which will help finding the solution for efficient use of dielectric and semiconductor crystalline materials, including nanocomposites and coplanar structures, and their application as functional elements in terahertz radiation control devices, ultimately targeting market-ready innovative products. A range of such materials will be considered for thorough investigations of potential application in electro/acousto-quasioptical devices to control THz radiation. Optimization of transmission, absorption, refraction indexes, loss tangent, the dielectric constant will be made based on experimental measurements and computer simulations. The project's scope will include semiconductor materials in which light-induced photogeneration of charge carriers is possible. The effect of photogeneration on the parameters of these materials will be used to develop efficient quasi-optical cells, which are key elements of control devices. The project brings together an international multidisciplinary network of organizations from academia and industry that will work coherently on the innovative research program on quasi-optical technologies and related material engineering. Participants will exchange skills and share knowledge, strengthening links between countries and promoting interaction between involved economics sectors. Reaching the goals related to the implementation of advanced quasi-optical technologies will open new market possibilities for engaged non-academic project participants, ultimately becoming beneficial for European society globally.
