The forthcoming wireless technologies, commonly known as the sixth generation (6G), are envisioned to provide extraordinary communication capacity and specifically revolutionize network sensing capabilities. The terahertz (THz) band stands out as a potential facilitator for these advancements, given its vast untapped frequency bands and the superior spatial resolution made possible by both short wavelengths and broad bandwidths.
Moreover, the THz region holds significant promise for the development of novel sensing modalities, boasting a distinctive absorption band for various materials and molecules, spanning from explosives to bio-molecules like DNA and proteins. However, unlocking the untapped potential of THz waves for sensing and communication requires the imperative development of THz sensors with high spectral resolution along with the advancement of THz functional devices, including high-speed modulators, beam formers, and antennas crucial for communication.
Our group is dedicated to advancing ultra-sensitive and miniaturized THz sensors and functional components by leveraging the principles of topological photonics and metamaterials.
