Laser Fabricates Terahertz Waveguides

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
Massachusetts Institute of Technology researchers in Cambridge have fabricated solid-state platforms in crystalline structures that can generate and propagate terahertz polaritons. They are conducting further experiments to better characterize the polaritonic waveguide modes and loss characteristics in the structures. As described in the October issue of Nature Materials, the scientists machined the micron-scale features in 0.2-mm-thick LiTaO3 and 0.5-mm-thick LiNbO3 crystals using approximately 100-µJ pulses from a Ti:sapphire laser. They generated phonon-polariton "ripples" in the...Read full article
