Title
Materials for terahertz and infrared photonics
Code
SP2019/92
Summary
The project focuses on the study of materials and metamaterials with prospective use in terahertz and infrared optics. In particular on materials that can improve or replace current materials used for active terahertz and infrared optical elements such as electrooptic crystals for the generation and detection of THz pulses, nonlinear crystals for frequency mixing and frequency multiplication, and THz and IR modulators. These crystals will be prepared from organic molecular crystals and theirs salts.
