Dendrimer Dipole Excitation: A Different Terahertz Era that is Often Overlooked

Anis Rahman

This paper presents a dendrimer dipole excitation-based Terahertz Radiation (T-ray) generation technique. Here an ordinary dendrimer is converted to electro-optic dendrimer by engineering three of the possible six Critical Nano Scale Design Parameters (CNDPs). A time-domain spectrometer circuit was designed and used for measuring the T-ray power generated by the source. The long-tern stability of the same T-ray source was measured for ~ 200 KS/s. It was found that the source exhibits very good stability over the period of more than 125 KS/s. This source was used to design a time-domain spectrometer that was utilized to characterize molecular identities of different molecular systems.
