Using Three Incommensurate Wave Components To Generate Terahertz Radiation, Jacob Bagley, Jeremy Johnson

Journal of Undergraduate Research

Electromagnetic radiation is a wave composed of an electric field and a magnetic field. Examples of electromagnetic radiation include visible light, ultraviolet light, Xrays, infrared light, microwaves, and more. Electromagnetic radiation is an indispensable tool for both controlling and studying matter and is applied to countless fields such as electronics manufacturing and medical imaging. Over the past two decades terahertz (THz) radiation, a form of electromagnetic radiation, has become an intense area of research. This surge in activity in due in part to technological advances in generating THz radiation, but is also due to the myriad of potential applications of …
