Achievement

We have IGERT trainees and students from Electrical Engineering Department and Physics Department teaming up to work on the design and realization of novel broadband anti-reflection structures for Terahertz waves. The newly engineered structures are functional from 0.2 THz to over 7.3 THz with a remarkable relative 3 dB bandwidth of 116.3%. The finding was published in Optics Letters in September 2010, entitled “Three-dimensional inverted photonic grating with engineerable refractive indices for broadband antireflection of terahertz waves”.
