Tiny Terahertz Laser May Aid Industrial Imaging and Chemical Detection
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Aug. 11, 2017 — A new terahertz design that can be etched on microchips boosts the power output of chip-mounted terahertz lasers by eighty percent. The novel design shows promise for future industrial imaging and chemical detection applications. The standard method for producing power-efficient sources of terahertz rays involves a bulky, power-hungry, tabletop device. Researchers at MIT, Sandia National Laboratories and the University of Toronto have created a device that is a variation of a quantum
