Terahertz Science (THZ) Lab
Machine-translated · View original
The lab works on terahertz spectroscopy and ultrafast spectroscopy.
AboutAbout the lab
Pursuing new science, from fundamentals to applications.
The Nakajima Lab (Terahertz Science Group) researches terahertz spectroscopy, terahertz engineering, ultrafast spectroscopy, and metamaterials.
Across the terahertz, infrared, and optical regions, the lab covers everything from fundamental physical phenomena to industrial applied research.
Osaka University has a long history in terahertz and infrared spectroscopy, and was a center of terahertz and infrared spectroscopy research in Japan.
The lab also actively pursues joint research with companies.
Key terms
- Terahertz spectroscopy
- A method of studying the properties of materials using terahertz waves, which lie in the frequency band between radio waves and light
- Ultrafast spectroscopy
- A method of studying fast changes occurring inside materials using light that is emitted only for an extremely short time
- Metamaterial
- A material with an artificially engineered fine structure that gives it properties not found in natural materials
