TERAPLASM Towards On-Chip Plasmonic Amplifiers of THz Radiation

Coordinator: INSTYTUT WYSOKICH CISNIEN POLSKIEJ AKADEMII NAUK (PL)

Thirty years ago Dyakonov and Shur opened a new field in solid-state physics and electronics - plasma-wave electronics. They theoretically predicted that: i) in nano-transistors, plasma waves may oscillate at THz frequencies far beyond the devices’ cut-off GHz frequencies, ii) THz radiation can be detected by plasma nonlinearities, and iii) the current flow can lead to the generation of THz radiation. The detection part of the “plasmonics promise” was proven and nowadays THz plasmonic detector arrays are widely used. In the case of emitters, the task turned out to be considerably more complic…

About Horizon Europe (2021–2027)

Horizon Europe is the EU's current research and innovation programme, covering 2021 to 2027 with a budget of roughly €95.5 billion. Its three pillars are Excellent Science (frontier research and mobility), Global Challenges and European Industrial Competitiveness (mission-driven collaborative projects in health, climate, digital, security and food) and Innovative Europe (the EIC and EIT). It also funds five EU Missions targeting cancer, climate adaptation, smart cities, oceans and soils.

EU contribution: €2.5M awarded to the consortium. The project runs over approximately 5 years from 2023-08-01 to 2028-07-31.
