  • Development of compact room temperature THz detectors and emitters for spectroscopic THz imaging, security and medical applications;
  • Development of compact THz components (filters, lenses, polarizators) and integration with THz detectors and emitters;
  • Investigation of semiconductor nanostructures (AlGaAs/GaAs ir AlGaN/GaN heterostructures; doped quantum wells, superlattices, superlattice/quantum dots/quantum rods systems) for THz photonics devices;
  • Terahertz broadband spectroscopy of carbon nanostructures and their composites.
  • Terahertz plasmonics and metamaterials
