(PhysOrg.com) -- "The terahertz regime has become of particular interest simply because it may allow us to look into materials in a completely new way," Diego Kienle tells PhysOrg.com. "This regime, which lies between microwave and optical frequencies is known as the terahertz gap. What one would like to have are devices which can operate - simply speaking - within this intermediate regime of conventional electronics and photonics."
