Terahertz Technology Fundamentals and Applications [Paperback]

The book presents information about Terahertz science, Terahertz photodetectors and Terahertz Lasers. A special emphasis is given to room temperature operation of long wavelength photodetectors based on novel quantum dots (Centered Defect Spherical Quantum Dots). Moreover, a complete analysis of systems based on Quantum Cascade structures to detect far infrared wavelengths is provided. Finally, the book presents Terahertz laser principles considering multi-color lasers in this range of wavelengths. Written as a background for graduate students in the Optics field.

Terahertz Technology provides an overview of Terahertz science, Terahertz photodetectors and Terahertz lasers. Readers will find a complete analysis of the use of systems-based Quantum Cascade structures to detect far infrared wavelengths, in addition to Terahertz laser principles.
