TERAHERTZ VISION

Terahertz radiation occupies wavelength range between infrared radiation and radio-waves. It contains valuable information about processes in live cells, constituency of the materials and composition of gases. In astronomy the terahertz radiation reveals density of cold dust clouds. Therefore an access to the THz range is rewarding but difficult because of low energy of the photons. A successful THz imager should have a ultra-sensitive sensor, loss-free  optical system and efficient spectral filters. All these aspects of the Terahertz vision are under development at RHUL.
