Terahertz photonics

Terahertz photonics occupies a unique position at the intersection of electronics and optics, leveraging the features of the terahertz range for next-generation telecommunications, security systems, industrial imaging, and biomedical diagnostics. In this area, fundamental physics directly informs engineering solutions: from monolithic integration and ultrafast carrier dynamics to nonlinear terahertz science and passive components for wave control.

We focus on new materials and principles for terahertz components, sources, and detectors, as well as the design of devices and systems capable of overcoming current limitations and opening up new areas of application. Particular attention is paid to systems engineering and the creation of comprehensive solutions that integrate physics, technology, and applied problems.
