New Terahertz Radiation Source

Electronics, Sensors & Photonics
Electronics, Sensors & Photonics

University: University of Aberdeen

Sector(s): Electronics, Sensors & Photonics, Information & Communications Technologies

About Opportunity:

Researchers at the Universities of Aberdeen and Glasgow are developing an inexpensive and powerful THz radiation source.

Terahertz or THz technology is a new and exciting frontier in science and engineering with a huge number of potential applications.

Currently, most industrial THz generation systems are bulky and use high power lasers to excite oscillations in a biased semiconductor such as Gallium Arsenide. These systems are complicated, expensive (>$100,000) and are not very portable.

We are developing a planar Gunn diode semi-conductor device which will produce very high frequency radiation in an accessible and affordable way.

Key Benefits:

  • Microchip-based technology
  • Room temperature operation
  • Physically small
  • Inexpensive to manufacture
  • Integratable into electronic circuitry

Applications:

  • Automotive radarHigh resolution radar
  • Broadband satellite communications
  • Wireless office communication systems
  • Medical scanning
  • Homeland security applications
  • Spectroscopy

IP Status:

Patent application filed.This technology is available to license in the all the above application areas. We are seeking industrial collaboration towards development in specific key applications.This project was supported by a Scottish Enterprise Proof of Concept Programme Award.
