Design of a Metastructured Terahertz Lens

Terahertz radiation is an underutilized portion of the electromagnetic spectrum. It has many applications in remote characterization, medical imaging, security screening and high-speed communications. While focusing terahertz radiation is important for many terahertz technologies, it is difficult and often inefficient because most materials absorb terahertz frequencies.

With their project, this group aimed to design a metastructured terahertz lens that can be made more efficient than traditional lenses. They aimed to take advantage of the wave nature of light to design a lens that uses its structure, rather than material properties, to focus radiation. High-efficiency lenses will allow for the implementation of improvements in terahertz technology, including lower power consumption and increased sensitivity.
