Researchers have achieved a breakthrough in high-order harmonic generation using topological insulators and nanostructures, enabling the production of both even and odd terahertz frequencies, which could revolutionize terahertz technology for communications, imaging, and quantum computing.
Researchers at Linköping University have developed a breakthrough in terahertz wave technology by demonstrating that the transmission of terahertz light can be adjusted when passed through an aerogel composed of cellulose and a conducting polymer. This advancement holds promise for applications in medical imaging and communication, as terahertz waves can pass through non-conductive materials without damaging tissue. The aerogel, which is both water-repellent and can be naturally defrosted via sunlight, offers a large modulation range for regulating the transmission of terahertz waves.
Researchers at Rice University have made a breakthrough in terahertz technology by leveraging the unique properties of strontium titanate, an oxide of strontium and titanium. By utilizing the strong interaction between terahertz light and the atomic structures of strontium titanate, the researchers were able to create phonon-polaritons, which are confined to the surface of the material and not lost inside it. This discovery opens up possibilities for studying and developing quantum materials for quantum electronics and sensing functional groups in biomolecules for medical diagnosis. The research could lead to the development of photonic devices in the 3-19 terahertz range.
