• The 17th China International Industry Fair, which lasted five days, came to an end at the National Convention and Fair Center (Shanghai) on November 7, 2015. Professor Xiaowei Sun from Shanghai Institute of Microsystem and Information Technology together with the SimImage R&D team attended this exhibition.
  • The researchers at the Key Laboratory of Terahertz Solid-State Technology, Shanghai Institute of Microsystem and Information Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, achieved ultra-broad dynamic range, homogeneous spectral spanning terahertz frequency combs based on the high performance, electrically pumped quantum cascade lasers. Employing the microwave modulation technique, the long-cavity quantum cascade laser demonstrates broadband spectral coverage...
  • High-speed imaging technology is one of the important research directions in the application of terahertz (THz) technology. It can be used in the fields of material analysis, high-energy physical process analysis, biomedical imaging and security inspection. However, the lack of low-temperature matching readout circuit makes the design of fast response photon-type focal plane array detector very difficult. This lead to the development of THz high-speed a...
  • On In June 19, 2015, Project Management Center of Chinese Academy of Sciences organized the examination of "terahertz remote imaging system" project, which is undertaken by Prof. Sun Xiaowei from Shanghai Institute of Microsystem and Information Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences. The system operates in the 0.36 THz and can quickly find dangerous goods that may be carried in the dense population within a range of 5 meters.

The Key Laboratory of Terahertz Solid-State Technology of Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) has been established in 2010. Since then, based on our long-term accumulation in terahertz (THz) photonics and electronics, we have continuously dedicated to the researches of THz basic theories, key THz devices, and THz application systems and so on. All these research activities are guided by China’s middle/long-term development strategy, development demands for THz related technologies, and the res...
