The terahertz scanning tunneling microscope (THz-STM) is a new system for ultrafast imaging of surfaces at the nanoscale. Previous experiments have shown a spatial resolution of 2 nm and temporal resolution of 500 fs under ambient conditions. Currently, the THz-STM is being developed for operation in ultrahigh vacuum. The challenges involved with operating in a vacuum environment, simulations...

Silk is a unique kind of nature protein. In recent years this ancient material has been introduced into biomedical field as a promising biomaterial which opened a new era in the development of optical interfaces and sensors for biomedical applications. In this work, we present biocompatible THz waveguides made from silk foam. To our knowledge, this is the first time when biocompatible...

For several years, THz spectroscopy and imaging have been applied to many different fields. However, some burdens still remain in its commercial generalization, particularly for the industry sector. One of these difficulties lies in the acquisition time. In a typical THz time-domain spectroscopy system (THz-TDS), the THz pulse is sampled in time by the means of a micrometer linear delay line....

Tabletop sources of high-field terahertz (THz) pulses are currently a hot topic, which is being pursued by many groups around the world. While the favourite method for intense THz generation is optical rectification in nonlinear crystals, research on using other novel methods have shown promising results, including those using air-plasmas, relativistic laser-solid interactions, and large...
