For crystalline material with strong terahertz (THz) absorbance, the characterization with terahertz time-domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS) is typically performed on the mixture pellet where the analyte of interest is embedded within an inert polymer matrix. The polymer background significantly affects the phase delay of the propagating THz signal inside the sample, which makes the polymer matrix contribute to the overall dielectric response of the mixture sample to the probing THz waves. In this study, an analytical model was proposed to extract the target analyte’s intrinsic dielectric constants from the experimental dielectric spectra of the diluted mixture.

We describe a series of works aimed at creating high-harmonic gyrotrons with cavities of complicated shapes as a way to increase efficiencies of their operation and to improve their selective properties. These works are mainly aimed at the implementation of the large-orbit gyrotrons developed at our Institute on the basis of two experimental installations. At the same time, some approaches have proved attractive also for traditional gyrotron configurations.

We report on a three-dimensional imaging system obtained by combining an amplitude-modulated continuous-wave (AMCW) radar with two-dimensional mechanical scanning. The system is based on a resonant-tunneling-diode (RTD) oscillator emitting at 660 GHz and modulated at 4.5 GHz. The axial distance measurement relies on determining the phase of the demodulated signal by means of an IQ mixer. With careful calibration, the distance measurement error was reduced to 20 µm.

This article mainly introduces our research group’s latest progress in THz camera. Nb5N6 film is a THz sensitive material and has a significant prospect in THz detection. We use this material to fabricate an antenna coupled microbolometer THz detector array at room temperature, and integrated 180 nm CMOS process readout circuit. The THz camera has a resolution of 32×32, pixel size of 250×250 μm, frame rate of 30, working range is 0.25-1 THz. Compared with the type of pyro-electric infrared camera, below 1 THz terahertz spectrum has significant advantages, with a higher response rate and a lower NEP.

We propose a pulse shape design that fully complies with the spectral emission requirements of the IEEE 802.15.3d Standard. The proposed pulse shape offers up to two orders of magnitude of improvement in the bit error rate performance compared to the conventional raised-cosine pulse.

We report a physical limit for reducing the modal volume of a cavity and ultimately increasing the light-matter coupling strength. Extremely confined photonic mode below a critical length-scale can introduce a large in-plane wave vector and excite a continuum of high momentum matter resonances. This excitations act as loss channels and reduce the field confinement by smearing the distribution of surface charges, thus consequently limiting the achievable field enhancement.

It is important to evaluate the penetration depth and speed of cosmetics into the skin for the cosmetic industry. However, the conventional method for measuring those parameters has some drawbacks. In this study, a terahertz time-of-flight method with Si-based emitter was applied for evaluation. The penetration of the liquid into a pig skin was measured as a travelling time of the THz pulses irradiating on a pigskin, where the glycerin concentration in the liquid was varied.

We suggest a method to simultaneously measure terahertz optical properties of crystals along two axes in terahertz time-domain spectroscopy using two broadband polarizers. We demonstrate the method by measuring temperature dependence of refractive index and absorption coefficient of lithium triborate crystal along different optical axes.

Surface current patterns in single patch antennas are imaged by means of photoexpansion nanospectroscopy performed with an atomic force microscopy probe and a broadly tunable quantum cascade laser system. The local ohmic losses lead to temperature increase of a thin polymer layer positioned in the cavity, which then expands.
