Welcome<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Welcome to the official website of the Terahertz Research Group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What We Do<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

We study the efficient generation and detection of THz radiation, as well as how THz waves interact with matters.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this lab, we play with, including but not limited to, the following scientific jargons:<\/p>\n\n\n\n3D Animated Text Sphere<\/title>\n <link rel=\"stylesheet\" href=\"style.css\">\n\n\n\n <span class=\"Sphere\"><\/span>\n\n <!-- Including the TagCloud.js script CDN in the document -->\n <script src=\"https:\/\/cdn.jsdelivr.net\/npm\/TagCloud@2.2.0\/dist\/TagCloud.min.js\"> <\/script>\n <script>\n const Texts = [\n 'Remote Sensing', 'Air Plasma', 'Femtosecond Laser', 'Group Velocity Dispersion',\n 'Ti:Sapphire Laser', 'Second Harmonic Generation', 'Ultra-intense Single-Shot Lasers',\n 'Time-Domain Spectroscopy', 'Two-Color Air Plasma',\n 'Transition Radiation', 'Nonlinear Optics', 'Supercontinuum',\n 'Electro-Optic Sampling', 'Coherent Detection', 'Terahertz Imaging', 'Optical Rectification'\n ];\n\n var tagCloud = TagCloud('.Sphere', Texts, {\n\n \/\/ Sphere radius in px\n radius: 250,\n\n \/\/ animation speed\n \/\/ slow, normal, fast\n maxSpeed: 'normal',\n initSpeed: 'normal',\n\n \/\/ Rolling direction [0 (top) , 90 (left), 135 (right-bottom)] \n direction: 135,\n\n \/\/ interaction with mouse or not [Default true (decelerate to rolling init speed, and keep rolling with mouse).]\n keep: true\n\n });\n\n \/\/ Giving color to each text in sphere\n var color = '#000000 ';\n document.querySelector('.Sphere').style.color = color;\n <\/script>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What is “Terahertz”?<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>The etymology of this word comes from Greek, so do most of the units\u2019 prefixes, for which “tera(\u03c4\u03ad\u03c1\u03b1\u03c2)” translates to “monster”. Considering its magnitude, 1 THz = 1 \u00d7 10<sup>12<\/sup> Hz, whoever came up with the name didn\u2019t use the wrong Greek vocabulary. As the name suggests, terahertz waves refer to the electromagnetic radiation that oscillates around 1\u00d710<sup>12<\/sup> times per second.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"359\" src=\"https:\/\/labsites.wdev.rochester.edu\/zhang\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/EMspectrum-1024x359.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-826\" srcset=\"https:\/\/labsites.rochester.edu\/zhang\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/EMspectrum-1024x359.png 1024w, https:\/\/labsites.rochester.edu\/zhang\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/EMspectrum-300x105.png 300w, https:\/\/labsites.rochester.edu\/zhang\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/EMspectrum-768x270.png 768w, https:\/\/labsites.rochester.edu\/zhang\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/EMspectrum-1536x539.png 1536w, https:\/\/labsites.rochester.edu\/zhang\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/EMspectrum-2048x719.png 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 706px) 89vw, (max-width: 767px) 82vw, 740px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"> Electromagnetic frequency spectrum.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">The THz radiation interval is roughly defined to be within 0.1 – 10 THz (0.03 – 3 mm) by the International Telecommunication Union, whereas other definitions also exist depending on different fields of scientific interests.
