Abstract

The CSIRO ICT Centre has recently completed a terahertz demonstrator with the aim of exploring applications in the 500-700 GHz range. The system is capable of transmission measurements through samples, and simple modulation experiments. Further work towards realizing detection by arrays of superconducting detectors is being pursued. This paper describes the design choices and implementation of the terahertz system, discusses recent results and future directions.
