Patch Antenna Microcavities for THz lasers

The Terahertz (THz) frequency range refers to electromagnetic radiation from 100 GHz to 10 THz. The unique characteristics of THz waves have allowed the development of wide-ranging applications such as molecular spectroscopy, medical imaging, security scanning, nondestructive testing, information technology among many others [1]. The ability to realize efficient and compact THz devices will benefit the further development of THz technology both for basic research and applications.
