The National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT) started the “Terahertz Project” in April 2006. Its main purpose in the next five years is to enable a nation-wide technical infrastructure for diverse applications of terahertz technology.
Application of fundamental terahertz technologies aimed at small high-performance devices and measurement systems include the development of semiconductor devices such as terahertz quantum cascade lasers, terahertz-range quantum well photodetectors, and high-precision tunable continuous wave sources. It also includes pulsed terahertz measurement systems, modeling and measurement of atmospheric propagation, and the establishment of a framework to construct a materials database in the terahertz range including standardization of the measurement protocol.
Below we outline our recent achievements in research and development conducted directly by NICT Terahertz Project Team as well as in contract research undertaken in colloboration with external organizations. We indicate the direction in which each project is heading, in view of the important benchmarks in the future development of terahertz technology.
