The proposed research program consists of five components: [1] Terahertz (THz) source and detector development for the purpose of [2] exploring a new regime in nonlinear optics [3], exploring new applications of THz science and technology with strong commercialization potential, and expanding my research interests into the areas of [4] laser fusion and [5] warm dense matter research. [1] This research supports the pan-Canadian THz research group, including supporting graduate students to develop intense THz sources. The availability of new, high-energy THz sources will allow the exploration of new nonlinear interactions, and contribute to maintaining international leadership in this area. [2] The momentum of the nonlinear THz work will be applied to studying new tools for characterizing the band structure and analyzing the transport kinetics in semiconductor devices. This research will contribute to research projects of high impact and visibility, reinforcing Canadian leadership in this domain. [3] I have been successful in developing, deploying and testing the first THz scanning system that was operational in a manufacturing facility in the world (an oriented strand board scanner). The research proposed in this application includes enhanced fundamental research in THz-wood interactions so that new applications in composite wood manufacturing and dimensional lumber can be explored and developed. Applications to the bioenergy industry will also be explored, which are possible because of the new bioenergy heating system on the UNBC campus (the most sophisticated bionenergy system on any university campus in Canada) which is designed to have a research component. This research will push the boundaries for technology transfer and commercialization activities related to the wood products industry - one of Canada's largest industrial sectors, and allow us to maintain international leadership in this area. [4,5] Expanding my research interests into the areas of laser fusion [4] and warm dense matter research [5] link with the other objectives and will enhance the competitiveness of this research program.

拟议的研究计划由五个组成部分组成：[1] Terahertz（THZ）来源和探测器开发，目的是[2]探索非线性光学的新制度[3]，探索具有强大的商业化潜力的THZ科学和技术的新应用，并将我的研究兴趣扩展到[4] Laser Fusion和[4] Laser Fusion和[5]温暖的水平。 [1]这项研究支持Pan-Canadian THZ研究小组，包括支持研究生开发强烈的THZ来源。 新的，高能的THZ来源的可用性将允许探索新的非线性互动，并有助于维持该领域的国际领导。 [2]非线性THZ工作的动量将应用于研究新工具，用于表征频带结构并分析半导体设备中的传输动力学。这项研究将有助于研究高影响力和知名度的研究项目，从而加强加拿大在该领域的领导。 [3]我已经成功地开发，部署和测试了在世界上制造工厂运营的第一个THZ扫描系统（面向式的链板扫描仪）。本应用程序中提出的研究包括增强的THZ木质相互作用的基础研究，因此可以探索和开发复合木材制造和尺寸木材中的新应用。还将探索对生物能源行业的应用，这是可能的，因为UNBC校园（加拿大任何大学校园中最复杂的二元能系统）的新生物能源加热系统旨在具有研究组成部分。 这项研究将推动与木材产品行业（加拿大最大的工业领域之一）有关的技术转移和商业化活动的界限，并允许我们在该领域保持国际领导。 [4,5]将我的研究兴趣扩展到激光融合[4]和温暖的密集物研究[5]与其他目标联系起来，并将增强该研究计划的竞争力。
