Super-Oscillatory Metalens at Terahertz for Enhanced Focusing with Reduced Side Lobes

  • Santiago Legaria,
  • Victor Pacheco-Peña and
  • Miguel Beruete

5 December 2018

In this paper, we design and numerically demonstrate an ultra-thin super-oscillatory metalens with a resolution below the diffraction limit. The zones of the lens are implemented using metasurface concepts with hexagonal unit cells. This way, the tra...

  • Yusuke Shirakawa,
  • Safumi Suzuki and
  • Masahiro Asada

27 November 2018

We present the principle of a terahertz-wave radar and its proof-of-concept experimental verification. The radar is based on a 522 GHz resonant-tunneling-diode oscillator, whose terahertz output power can be easily modulated by superimposing the modu...
