Ultrafast Infrared and Terahertz Science
Using light to investigate materials
The Infrared and Terahertz Science Group uses light to investigate materials for future communication systems and sustainable production, and to investigate the effect of radiation on molecular systems, aiming at a better understanding of radiation-induced damage to materials.
Radiation damage to skin, organs and cellular structures is an important factor for health and life expectancy of humans. In the Infrared and Terahertz Science Group at DTU Fotonik we are interested in learning more about the first steps of interaction between electrons and bio tissue – with a deeper understanding of the fundamental mechanisms leading to damage, it will become possible to develop better medical treatments.
Another aspect of our research deals with understanding materials of the future of computation and communication. We are interested in replacing present-day materials that may be scarce, highly polluting or expensive with better, faster and more sustainable materials.
