Who are we?

We are a team of experimentalists and theoreticians working in all things terahertz. We are part of the umbrella Institute of Photonics and Optical Science, physically located at the School of Physics, University of Sydney.

Terahertz made easy

Our laboratory has recently installed a state-of-the-art Menlo TeraK15 terahertz system for fast, easy, real-time terahertz scanning and fast imaging.

Near-field versatility

Our lab also provides near field imaging capabilities via our Protemics Teraspike Microprobes at any polarization.
