The newly developed terahertz wave polarization modulator outperforms other existing models, offering enhanced multifunctionality, a broader operating bandwidth, and high-precision control.
Terahertz waves, which occupy the spectral region between millimetre waves and infrared light, are characterized by broad bandwidth and strong penetration capabilities, making them highly promising for applications in next-generation wireless communications, material testing, and bio-medicine.
The research was jointly completed by the Aerospace Information Research Institute and Nanjing University. Its results have been published in the international academic journal Optica.
