Funded Activity Summary

Leaky Dielectric Platform for Integrated Terahertz Components. This project aims to realise integrated terahertz components including programmable filters, compact spectrometers, frequency-scanning antennas, and broadband/broadside high-gain antennas. These components are crucial in emerging terahertz integration for field applications and will supersede decades-old bulky free-space terahertz counterparts. Silicon will be a key material for all of these terahertz structures to achieve tunability and highest efficiency. Effective medium theory will enable performance, functionality, integrability, and structural simplicity. The expected outcomes are building blocks towards high-speed 6G infrastructure and high-resolution stand-off sensing to reap economic benefits at the dawn of terahertz engineering.
