Terahertz and Infrared Photonics Group
Director: Benjamin Williams
The Terahertz and Infrared Photonics group is broadly focused on the study of physics and development of novel devices at the intersection of:
- Engineered quantum electronic properties in low-dimensional semiconductors
- Engineered electromagnetic metamaterials and artificial structures
- Development of novel technologies for the generation, detection, and control of THz and mid-IR radiation
- Applications in the terahertz and mid-infrared
