Research on terahertz science and engineering at the state key laboratory of millimeter waves, partner laboratory in City University of Hong Kong

Abstract

Summary form only given. In this presentation, we will provide an overview on the research activities on terahertz (THz) science and technology recently conducted at the State Key Laboratory of Millimeter Waves (SKLMW), Partner Laboratory in City University of Hong Kong. SKLMW was established in 2008 with the approval of the Ministry of Science and Technology and our partner is the State Key Laboratory of Millimeter Waves at Southeast University. One of the key research focuses of the laboratory is terahertz science and technology, a highly-interdisciplinary research area. As such, we have internal members not only from electronic engineering but also physics, materials science, biology and chemistry. To promote international collaborations, we also have external lab members from China and UK. To facilitate our research on THz, the laboratory is equipped with an Agilent PNA-X vector network analyzer with extension modules from OML and VDI, covering the full range of 90GHz to 1.1THz. In addition, we also have an EKSPLA THz spectrometer that has a pulse duration of less than 90 fs and a spectral range from 0.1 to 3.5THz.
