Title:
High sensitivity detection of terahertz radiation
Agreement Number:
965406
Agreement Value:
$256,300.00
Agreement Date:
Feb 5, 2021 - Jun 30, 2024
Description:
The Project will design, construct and demonstrate a THz single-photon detection apparatus, followed by the demonstration of the detection of THz single photons. Detection sensitivity will be optimized through the improvement of THz signal collection with plasmonic antennas to funnel the THz radiation towards the active area of the receiver. Following the scientific demonstration of the THz receiver, the Project team will develop the concept for real-life applications, working with industry to design a compact and stable receiver able to operate at specific THz frequencies, avoiding water vapour absorption in air for its operation at a medium to high relative humidity index.
Organization:
National Research Council Canada
Expected Results:
In the short term, anticipated outcomes will be strengthened collaborations across industry, academia, and government to support research excellence. In the medium term, anticipated outcomes will be the development of new and potentially disruptive technologies with collaborators. In the long term, find collaborative solutions to public policy challenges and create stronger innovation systems.
