Description

Background

The terahertz wave is located at a special position, so that the terahertz wave has great scientific research value and wide application prospect in the basic research fields of physics, chemistry, astronomy, molecular spectrum, life science, medical science and the like, and the application research fields of medical imaging, environmental monitoring, material detection, food detection, radio astronomy, mobile communication, satellite communication, military radar and the like. Terahertz waves are mainly applied in the following fields:
(1) field of imaging
The transient electromagnetic field generated by the terahertz electromagnetic pulse can be directly measured by utilizing the terahertz time-domain spectroscopy technology, and the dielectric constant of a sample can be directly measured.
(2) The field of biochemistry
Because the rotation absorption spectrum of a plurality of biomacromolecules is in the terahertz frequency band, the molecular motion condition information in the reaction can be obtained by utilizing the research on the terahertz absorption spectrum of biochemical reaction. Provides a powerful means for further researching the biochemical reaction.
(3) Field of astronomy
In the universe, a large number of substances emit terahertz electromagnetic waves. Carbon (C), water (H)2O), carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen (N)2) Oxygen (O)2) And a large number of molecules can be detected in the terahertz frequency band.
(4) Field of communications
Terahertz waves are good broadband information carriers and can carry audio or video signals for transmission. The terahertz wave is used for communication, and the wireless transmission speed of 10GB/s can be obtained, which is hundreds to thousands of times faster than the current ultra-wideband technology.
(5) The field of homeland security
In the field of homeland security, due to the non-ionization property and strong penetrability of the terahertz waves, the terahertz waves can provide long-distance and large-range early warning for hidden dangerous goods such as explosives, contraband, weapons, drugs and the like in airports, stations and the like.
The lack of terahertz sources capable of generating high-power, high-quality and high-efficiency terahertz waves and operating at room temperature with low cost is a major problem at present. At present, the terahertz wave generation method mainly comprises an electronics method and a photonics method. The electronic method is a process that the wavelength of electromagnetic radiation is generally extended from millimeter waves to a terahertz waveband, namely, the process is equivalent to a frequency increasing process, but when the frequency is greater than 1THz, the process is hindered greatly, so that the efficiency is low, and meanwhile, a terahertz wave radiation source generated by the electronic method is large in size, so that the application of the terahertz wave radiation source in many fields is limited. The main direction of the photonics method is to convert visible light or infrared light to a terahertz wave band. The method has the advantages that the generated terahertz radiation source has high coherence and directivity, but the terahertz wave generated at the present stage is low in power and efficiency.
