Key advances in Semiconductor Terahertz (THz) Technology now promises important new applications enabling scientists and engineers to overcome the challenges of accessing the so-called "terahertz gap". This pioneering reference explains the fundamental methods and surveys innovative techniques in the generation, detection and processing of THz waves with solid-state devices, as well as illustrating their potential applications in security and telecommunications, among other fields.
With contributions from leading experts, Semiconductor Terahertz Technology: Devices and Systems at Room Temperature Operation comprehensively and systematically covers semiconductor-based room temperature operating sources such as photomixers, THz antennas, radiation concepts and THz propagation as well as room-temperature operating THz detectors.
The second part of the book focuses on applications such as the latest photonic and electronic THz systems as well as emerging THz technologies including: whispering gallery resonators, liquid crystals, metamaterials and graphene-based devices.
This book will provide support for practicing researchers and professionals and will be an indispensable reference to graduate students in the field of THz technology.
Key features:
- Includes crucial theoretical background sections to photomixers, photoconductive switches and electronic THz generation & detection.
- Provides an extensive overview of semiconductor-based THz sources and applications.
- Discusses vital technologies for affordable THz applications.
- Supports teaching and studying increasingly popular courses on semiconductor THz technology.
