The manipulation of TO-phonon polaritons and the terahertz (THz) light field associated with them by means of an ultra-sound acoustic wave is proposed and illustrated by calculating the TO-phonon-mediated THz response of acoustically-pumped…

We introduce Modulated Orientation Sensitive Terahertz Spectroscopy (MOSTS) that can both increase contrast between adjacent modes and remove the broad band librational background to allow mode identification for large macro molecules such…

The anisotropic effective mass of electrons is directly measured using time-resolved THz- pump/THz-probe techniques in a n-doped InGaAs semiconductor thin film. A microscopic theory is used to attribute this anisotropy in the THz probe…

The electromagnetic response of metasurfaces can be intentionally engineered by carefully designing their unit cells. Narrowband metasurfaces, characterized by high quality factors, can serve as an efficient platform for biosensing in…

Hydration water is vital for the stabilization of protein structure and function. The strong interaction of hydration water with the protein surface brings into question how dynamics and asymmetry of hydrogen bonds are perturbed for…

The microscopic origins of terahertz (THz) vibrational modes in biological systems are an active and open area of current research. Recent experiments [Physical Review X 8, 031061 (2018)] have revealed the presence of a pronounced mode at…

A compact terahertz (THz) polarimetric spectrometer and imaging system is demonstrated using polarization-sensitive frequency-selective surfaces (PS-FSS) and rapid, intensity-based detection. Real-time Stokes parameter extraction enables…

Despite being a fundamental tool in soft matter research, quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) analyses of discrete macromolecules in liquid so far lack a firm theoretical basis. Currently, acoustic signals are qualitatively interpreted using…

Coating thickness measurement and inspection of defects beneath optically opaque surfaces are among the most promising commercial applications of the terahertz (THz) imaging technology. However, there are two main sources of complexity in…

Proteins can be regarded as thermal nanosensors in an intra-body network. Upon being stimulated by Terahertz (THz) frequencies that match their vibrational modes, protein molecules experience resonant absorption and dissipate their energy…

Highly efficient terahertz (THz) wave sources based on difference frequency generation (DFG) process in nonlinear optical crystals play an important role for the applications of THz wave. In order to find more novel nonlinear crystals, here…

Porous or biological materials comprise a multitude of micro-domains containing water. Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance measurements are sensitive to the anisotropy of the thermal motion of such water. This anisotropy can be due to the…

Water-alcohol mixtures exhibit many abnormal physicochemical properties, the origins of which remain controversial. Here we use transmission electron microscopy (TEM), nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA), and atomic force microscopy (AFM)…

A number of researchers are attempting to develop a biosensor based on terahertz sensing. Key to the realization of any biosensor system is the access of the target molecules to the sensor. In the case of using terahertz spectroscopy, there…

Crystal quartz is a well-known anisotropic medium with optically active phonons in the THz region where hyperbolic phonon-polaritons can be excited. Here, we use this material to illustrate how the behavior of bulk and surface hyperbolic…
