Terahertz or THz radiation has the potential to seed transversal innovations in medicine, biology, material science and telecommunications, but its deployment is still held back by practical and technological constraints. The THEIA project has developed a specific flavour of THz spectroscopy that can operate inside waveguides.
The future deployment of compact THz spectroscopy systems has come one step closer thanks to the EU-funded THEIA project. The team has developed a system that can operate with waves confined in waveguides. The key is the ability to generate and process THz waves directly inside the waveguide, which has been developed as part of the THEIA project.
