POLYNICES Project at IRMMW-THz 2025: Advancing Terahertz Research through Collaboration

The POLYNICES Project was proud to be represented at this year’s International Conference on Infrared Millimeter and Terahertz Waves (IRMMW-THz 2025), held in Helsinki. This event brought together researchers, innovators, and industry leaders from around the world to discuss the latest breakthroughs in the field of THz science and technology.

Our partners from the Grupo de Optoelectronica y Tecnología Láser (GOTL), Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, presented groundbreaking results achieved within the framework of POLYNICES, TERA6G and SPRINTER Projects. Their contributions addressed key challenges in photonics and THz applications:

• A Dielectric Waveguide Approach for Non-Destructive Extraction of the Complex Refractive Index
  Providing a novel method to characterize materials with accuracy, without damaging the sample.

• Heterogeneous Resonator Stacking for mm-Wave Probe Antennas with Enhanced Bandwidth
  Offering new solutions for antenna design, enabling higher performance in THz communications.

• Impact of Tip-Shape in Water-Based Broadband THz Pyramidal Absorbers
  Demonstrating innovative absorber designs that improve broadband performance in the THz spectrum.

These results highlight the strong collaborative spirit of EU-funded projects and their impact on advancing non-destructive sensing, next-generation communication systems and photonic device design.

We warmly congratulate Ashish Kumar and Kalliopi Spaniadou for their excellent presentations and thank the entire GOTL team for their outstanding work. Their contributions demonstrate how international cooperation drives the development of new technologies that will shape the future of Terahertz science.

At POLYNICES, we are committed to pushing the boundaries of photonic integration and fostering innovation across Europe. Conferences such as IRMMW-THz provide a vital platform for sharing knowledge, building networks, and inspiring the next steps in research.

Stay tuned as we continue to share updates on our progress and collaborative results!
