• ITMO Researchers Discover New Properties of Terahertz Radiation

  …erials. Researchers take a study sample (e.g. a crystal just hundreds of microns in size) and expose it to radiation, focused by a converging lens. The sample is then moved against the focus of the lens, which causes the self-trapping effect, leading to a change in the beam divergence and, as a consequence, the intensity detected through the signal diaphragm. As a re…
