Terahertz Optical Networks

Aydogan discusses the innovative use of terahertz wavelengths to create optical networks using standard 3D printers, resulting in relatively large structures of eight to nine centimeters. He emphasizes the scalability of these networks, which can be compacted significantly at shorter wavelengths, and highlights the cost-effectiveness of this fabrication method compared to traditional lithography. The conversation also touches on the visual characteristics of the layers, comparing them to Fresnel lenses and digital patterns.
