Interrogating Terahertz with Light
A new scheme developed by researchers encodes the phase and amplitude information of terahertz waves onto ultraviolet light that can be detected from a distance and from almost any angle.
Left to right: Researchers Jingle Liu, X.-C. Zhang and Jianming Dai can recover terahertz wave information from a distance up to 10 m.
A method of detecting terahertz waves from 10 m away brings THz imaging closer to viability for security and environmental applications.
