Three-dimensional (3D) terahertz devices often have difficulty of fabrication due to smaller feature size and complexity of architecture. We herein propose the new fabrication method by combining two techniques; building 3D polymer architecture using high-resolution 3D printing, followed by coating its surface with metal film using high-step-coverage deposition technique, supercritical fluid deposition (SCFD). Difficulty of metal film formation by SCFD onto the polymer is the largest obstacle, but was overcome by a facile surface modification technique to anneal the polymer in oxygen ambient. We thereby demonstrated the fabrication of THz high-pass filter. Our developed method enables the monolithic integration of necessary components for THz devices, for instance passive components together with waveguides. It obviates assembly of individually fabricated components that leads to potential signal loss caused by misalignment, which is more critical with increasing frequency of THz waves.

The phenomenon of free electrons crossing the periodic structure surface to stimulate radiation is called Smith-Purcell (SP) effect. Former researchers have discovered that by using the open resonator array, SP radiation can have a specific frequency and angle. What's more, this frequency is consist with its resonance mode. However, grating with too small grooves would have lower radiant efficiency, so we present a new structure that add a larger groove at each period of grating, which can not only maintain its radiant characters, but also enhance its radiation intensity. We also use this structure in the transmission grating, which has some better radiant characters than traditional reflection grating. This discovery will provide a new method for the research of high power coherent THz radiation source.

The effect of the electron beam misalignment on the operating frequency, the frequency-tunable range and the beam-wave interaction efficiency for a continuously frequency-tunable gyrotron has been investigated. It is found that the influence of the misaligned electron beam is significant, the electron beam misalignments should be taken into account and avoided in the design and fabrication of a continuously frequency-tunable gyrotron.

We present the first comparison of optoelectronic frequency- and time-domain terahertz (THz) systems for thickness measurements on sub-mm single- and multilayer samples using identical setups, samples and evaluation procedures in order to obtain comparable results. We find that single layer PET and Kapton foils with a thickness of 23 μm – 350 μm can be measured with similar accuracy with both systems. Hence, frequency-domain THz systems may replace time-domain systems in future industrial layer thickness measurements.

Etalon effects in THz transmittance spectra, either taken in time- domain or frequency-domain, often hamper or even hinder the interpretation of film properties. In this paper we discuss the transferability and applicability of spectroscopic methods typically employed in the near and mid infrared spectral range to eliminate the fringes in the transmittance spectra in the THz spectral range.

A plasmonic array architecture with the ability to generate multiple independent, orthogonal beams at THz frequencies is proposed, analytically modeled and numerically demonstrated. The design leverages novel plasmonic device properties to perform discrete Fourier transform for the spatial domain in the analog regime with reduced complexity, and can be utilized to enable ultra-massive MIMO communications.

Intense THz pulses have been shown to induce non-thermal biological effects at multiple scales of structural organization, including differential gene expressions in human skin tissue. Epidermal differentiation is a calcium-regulated process, and an excellent candidate for studying genetics of THz-induced biological effects due to the strong over-representation of THz-affected genes in these processes. Results indicate application of THz for targeted inhibition of mitotic activity in skin, and additionally suggest membrane permeation as a key mechanism of THz-induced biological effects. Preliminary experiments investigating fluorescence detection of membrane permeability and techniques of field enhancement in THz-exposed cell lines will be discussed.

Samples mimicking delamination of preparation and paint layer on a panel and canvas painting were prepared. They were investigated in reflection geometry using THz-TDI before and after consolidation treatment. Regions of delamination and successful consolidation could be identified. The results present a promising starting point for the planed inspection of a painting which is awaiting restoration.

To realize the GW-class power source for Microwave Rocket, the cost reduction of gyrotrons is one of the solutions to lower the threshold to realize the beam station. In this study, a sub-MW-class gyrotron which adapted a smaller bore diameter of the superconducting magnet was designed and developed. The output power, pulse duration, and frequency are respectively 600 kW, $100 mumathrm{s}$, and 94 GHz. The electron current is driven by a charged capacitor bank and in-house IGBT switches. The gyrotron tube was aligned with the superconducting magnet to achieve high electric efficiency.
