Terahertz Science Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that generates, detects, controls, and uses terahertz waves, which lie between radio waves and light.
AboutAbout the lab
Into the last unexplored frontier between radio waves and light
The Terahertz Science Group (Arikawa Lab) studies electromagnetic waves in the terahertz region, which lies between radio waves and light.
Using both electronics and photonics technologies, and building on a deep understanding of fundamental physics, the lab aims to create new principles and technologies for generating, detecting, controlling, and using terahertz waves.
The research results will be extended to next-generation wireless communications and high-performance sensing.
Key terms
- Terahertz waves
- Electromagnetic waves that lie between radio waves and light, in a frequency range called the "last unexplored frontier"
- Photonics
- The field of technologies that use light. It is often discussed alongside electronics, which uses electrons
