Chip-based room-temperature terahertz frequency comb spectrometers

Although visual perception of humans is limited to a fraction of wavelengths spanning the electromagnetic spectrum, technological advances enable us to see in other spectral regions by providing suitable sources and detectors. Of particular interest for many applications is the ability to probe objects in the terahertz (THz) range, which bridges the microwave and infrared domains. THz radiation offers unique opportunities for imaging or sensing due to its high transmission by optically-opaque materials like paper, textiles, ceramics or plastics, while for gas sensing it enables identification of structurally-complex molecules. Unfortunately, access to this region is difficult due to…
