DARPA Creates 0.85 THz Solid State Receiver

Posted by samzenpus on Sunday August 5, 2012 @06:30AM from the from-the-lab dept.

hypnosec writes "DARPA, under its THz Electronics program, has designed a solid state receiver capable of THz (terahertz) frequencies thus inching towards the possibilities of transistor-based electronics that will operate at THz frequencies. The newly designed solid state receiver demonstrates a gain at 0.85 THz. This particular milestone is a stepping stone for the next target of 1.03 THz. Because of this achievement a host of DoD electronics capabilities can now be realized. One such application where this can be of use is for a sensor that will operate through clouds under a DARPA program dubbed VISAR."

I also have a THz wave receiver. It's called "eyes".
I also have this device capable of producing THz waves. It's a lamp.
