• ITMO Scientists Achieve Record-Breaking Efficiency of Terahertz Radiation in Liquids

  Physicists from ITMO University have improved the method of converting optical radiation into terahertz radiation using a liquid, which until recently was thought of as unpromising. Nevertheless, the achieved efficiency of the conversion in such a medium is a record-breaking 0.1%. It’s a proven fact that terahertz radiation, unlike X-radiation, is harmless and can be used in medicine, security systems, ecological monitoring, analysis of art objects, and in the food industry. A research paper on the subject was published in the Communications Physics journal. This research is supported by a grant from the Russian Science Foundation (RSF).
