Photonics and Terahertz Technology

The latest developments in semiconductor technology allow the practical use of terahertz waves. A film explains how this works.

Scientists have successfully modulated magnetic information using electrical pulses while converting it into a polarized light signal. This discovery could revolutionize long-distance optical telecommunications.
