Current dominant system architectures for terahertz waves are adapted from other ranges, leading to critical bottlenecks. This project will address this with a new integration platform that is tailored to the particular needs of terahertz waves. This requires advances in the emerging field of micro-scale integrated optics, combined with antenna-theory principles, semiconductor science, and advanced microfabrication to incorporate active devices. Novel spatially-dependent dispersion engineering techniques will also be pioneered for phased-array-free beamforming. This will enable a broad variety of all-in-one handheld systems for practical applications of terahertz waves such as noninvasive standoff sensing and self-aligning wireless links.

当前太赫兹波的主导系统架构是从其他范围改编而来的，导致了严重的瓶颈。该项目将通过一个新的集成平台来解决这个问题，该平台是根据太赫兹波的特殊需求量身定制的。这需要新兴的微型集成光学领域的进步，并结合天线理论原理、半导体科学和先进的微加工来整合有源器件。新颖的空间相关色散工程技术也将率先用于无相控阵波束形成。这将使各种一体式手持系统能够用于太赫兹波的实际应用，例如非侵入式远距离传感和自对准无线链路。
