Recent advances in terahertz science at Queen Mary University of London

This paper aims to highlight recent activities in THz group at QMUL. These include progress in data processing techniques related to material parameter extraction procedures, characterization of water-based highly absorbing solutions, programming techniques used to facilitate data acquisition and investigations in the field of new coherent THz sources. The implementation and development of quasi-optic THz components is also described here. One of the group´s aims is to establish metrological measures allowing comparison of results obtained using THz-TDS by various groups worldwide.
