What are the Challenges in Bridging the Terahertz Gap?
One of the primary challenges is the lack of efficient and compact sources and detectors for terahertz radiation. Traditional electronic and photonic devices struggle to operate efficiently at these frequencies. The development of metamaterials and plasmonic structures at the nanoscale is one of the promising approaches to overcome these challenges. These materials can be engineered to exhibit properties not found in nature, enabling new ways to generate and control terahertz waves.
