TeraERC: Chip-based room-temperature terahertz frequency comb spectrometers
A European Research Council – funded research project
AIMS&OBJECTIVES
The 1.5 MEUR TeraERC project focuses on the development of chip-based technologies for room-temperature spectroscopy in the terahertz range, which our eyes cannot see. While this part of the electromagnetic spectrum is technologically challenging, it carries a wealth of information about drug authenticity, air pollution and internal structure of non-metal objects.
Our team aims to democratize access to the terahertz range by providing the necessary light sources, detectors, and spectroscopic techniques operating without cryogenic cooling. On a larger scale, we contribute to an EU-wide initiative to leverage infrared photonic technologies for health monitoring and early-stage disease detection.
