The nanostructure of laser ablation targets for the generation of plasma is a crucial factor for the volume, the density, and the shape of the plasma plume. We will investigate the relation between this nanostructure and the efficiency of creating an electric-field-assisted plasma for the generation of intense TeraHertz (THz) radiation. This radiation will be used to characterize thin films, polymers and for bio-imaging. This collaborative research and development project assembles two academic teams with a long-standing experience and unique infrastructures for nano-fabrication, nano-characterization, as well as THz generation and characterization. Both local industrial partners provide unique expertise, on one hand in the field of state-of-the-art plasma technologies and on the other hand in the field of ultrafast spectroscopy and imaging. The project targets nanotechnology solutions to respond to a need for intense, stable, and affordable THz sources.

激光消融目标的纳米结构是产生血浆的纳米结构，这是血浆羽流的体积，密度和形状的关键因素。我们将研究这种纳米结构与创建电场辅助等离子体的效率之间的关系，以生成强烈的Terahertz（THZ）辐射。该辐射将用于表征薄膜，聚合物和生物成像。该协作研究与开发项目组装了两个学术团队，拥有长期的经验和独特的基础设施，用于纳米制作，纳米表征以及THZ的产生和特征。一方面，两个本地工业合作伙伴都在最先进的等离子体技术领域，另一方面都提供独特的专业知识，另一方面，在超快光谱和成像领域。该项目针对纳米技术解决方案，以应对对强烈，稳定和负担得起的THZ来源的需求。
