Device physics: A terahertz modulator
Mittleman Daniel1
Abstract
Tiny metal resonators can be used to create a material with tunable responses to an applied voltage. Combined with a semiconductor substrate, they can be used to control technologically promising terahertz radiation.
Electromagnetic radiation with frequencies lying between the microwave region and the infrared — so-called terahertz radiation — holds great promise for imaging and sensing applications. It is non-ionizing, and therefore causes less damage to biological tissue than conventional, higher-energy X-rays.
