| dc.description.abstract | We review recent research using amorphous electrooptic (EO) polymers for generation and detection of broadband terahertz radiation (0.3 THz -30 THz). The advantages of amorphous EO polymers over other materials for broadband THz generation (via optical rectification) and detection (via EO sampling) include a lack of phonon absorption (good transparency) in the THz regime, high EO coefficient and good phase-matching properties, and, of course, easy fabrication (low cost). Our ~12-THz, spectral gap-free THz system based on a polymer emitter-sensor pair is an excellent demonstration of the advantages of the use of EO polymers. This system has been employed as a wideband spectrometer to study dielectric materials in the THz regime | en |
