This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project is to develop ultra-high speed detector for terahertz applications. The ever-increasing volume of the information to beTransmitted and processed demands fast communication systems that will have to fulfill a throughput of 1 Tb/s or even 10 Tb/s. This requires more than 100 times improvement of performance over today's fiber optic communication systems, and calls for the development of terahertz or femtosecond technologies. The success of this program will lead to drastic improvement of device performance in response speed, gain, responsivity and detectivity. Phase I of this program is to demonstrate the proof-of-concept.The recent surveys suggest that the communication systems will have to fulfill, a throughput of at least 1 Tb/s or even 10 Tb/s by 2010. This puts a demand for more than 100 times improvement of performance in today's fiber-optic communication systems, and calls for the development of terahertz or femtosecond technologies. The potential applications include, detector of ultra-fast laser pulse, generator and detector of ultra-fast electrical transients, broadband detectors, samplers, demultiplexers, and mixer in multi-gigahertz range, high speed optical switches, etc.

这个小型企业创新研究（SBIR）第一阶段项目是为太赫兹应用开发超高速探测器。待传输和处理的信息量不断增加，需要快速的通信系统，必须满足 1 Tb/s 甚至 10 Tb/s 的吞吐量。这需要比当今的光纤通信系统性能提高100倍以上，并需要开发太赫兹或飞秒技术。该计划的成功将导致设备在响应速度、增益、响应度和检测率方面的性能大幅提高。该计划的第一阶段是展示概念验证。最近的调查表明，到 2010 年，通信系统必须满足至少 1 Tb/s 甚至 10 Tb/s 的吞吐量。这提出了要求使当今光纤通信系统的性能提高100倍以上，并呼吁开发太赫兹或飞秒技术。潜在的应用包括超快激光脉冲探测器、超快电瞬态发生器和探测器、宽带探测器、采样器、解复用器和多千兆赫范围内的混频器、高速光开关等。
