TUM (Technical University of Munich) physicists Alexander Holleitner and Reinhard Kienberger have succeeded in generating electric pulses in the frequency range up to 10 terahertz using tiny, so-called plasmonic antennas and run them over a chip. Researchers call antennas plasmonic if, because of their shape, they amplify the light intensity at the metal surfaces. The ...
