Abstract
We present recent results on experimental measurements and theoretical simulations for terahertz wave generation (quantum mechanical simulation) and detection (four-wave-mixing) with ambient air and selected gases. We demonstrate standoff terahertz wave generation for potential applications of terahertz air photonics in remote sensing and identification.
