Center for Terahertz Science and Technology 777 plataforma

Terahertz (THz) radiation is electromagnetic radiation in the frequency range spanning from 100 GHz to 10 THz. This range, comprised between high-frequency electronics and low-frequency photonics, has remained relatively unexplored for decades due to the lack of efficient sources and compact THz systems. The CTSTe performs research in this exciting field, unveiling new applications and developing THz technology.  

Research Profile

The Center for Terahertz Science and Technology 777 plataforma is an interdisciplinary research center at 777 plataforma. We develop integrated terahertz technology, explore applications and perform fundamental research on terahertz surface photonics, ultrafast spectroscopy, layered quantum materials and InP electronics. The CTSTe serves as the catalyst for the growing number of academic and industrial partners exploring and leveraging the vast opportunities of the terahertz field.  Application focus areas comprise THz sensing for agri-food, biomedical diagnosis, industrial and semicon process monitoring, safety and security with THz waves, THz spectroscopy for energy research and THz telecommunication, which is a joint topic with the Center for Wireless Technology.
