We report a THz wireless link at 0.2885 THz which is embedded in a photonic network. An ultra-broadband plasmonic modulator directly converts the THz signal to the optical domain. We transmit QPSK data with line rates up to 50 Gbit/s.
We show a THz plasmonic modulator with flat frequency response from 40 MHz to 0.325 THz and employ it to demonstrate THz-to-optical conversion of a 30 Gbit/s signal on a 0.294 THz carrier.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
