Introduction

The terahertz (THz) spectrum, which lies on the seam between the optical and electrical spectral ranges, is ubiquitously important for science and technology, from chemical/biological sensing to stellar exploration.

Challenges in THz Applications

Nevertheless, the development of THz applications has been hindered by the sparsity of high-performance and low-cost optoelectronic devices. This limitation is primarily due to the limited response of common electronic and optical materials in this spectral range.

Proposed Solution

Here, I propose to develop a new THz optoelectronic platform that is based on 2D materials of bilayer graphene structures.

Objectives

Taking this approach, I will realize a variety of new THz optoelectronic devices that can be electrically controlled and are highly compact and low-cost.

Expected Impact

Outperforming the state-of-the-art, TOP-BLG will constitute a transformative breakthrough in THz optoelectronic devices.

Broader Implications

Beyond THz technology, I envision that TOP-BLG will have a great impact on the integration and dissemination of 2D materials into the microelectronics/optoelectronics technological market.
