This band straddles the domain s of classical electromagnetics and photonics\, creating a philosophical a nd practical conflict due to the dual nature of light. This dilemma has hi storically been termed the "THz gap\," characterized by difficulties in ge neration and propagation. In an AFIT dissertation\, research will be condu cted to address these issues. The Center for Technical Intelligence Studie s and Research (CTISR) has conducted preliminary research using supercondu ctors to transmit THz waves. This dissertation will extend that work by fu lly characterizing antenna pattern characteristics within the confines of current measurement capabilities and will look to inform future designs fo r the THz regime. Additionally\, THz wave propagation through the atmosphe re is significantly attenuated by water vapor absorption in certain sub-ba nds. The AFIT Center for Directed Energy's HELEEOS code will be examined t o potentially refine the prediction of THz propagation characteristics. Ti me-Domain Spectroscopy (TDS) will be employed to validate these models.\n\ nCo-sponsored by: Wright-Patt Multi-Intelligence Development Consortium (W PMDC)\, The DOD & DOE Communities\n\nSpeaker(s): Nathan\n\nAgenda: \nThe T Hz portion of the electromagnetic spectrum presents notable challenges for technological development.
