We are excited to share a detailed dataset focusing on single-layer thickness measurement using a THz spectrometer setup. The dataset is now available on Zenodo. About the Dataset The dataset presents a method that uses two continuous wave (CW) lasers — one static and one frequency-modulated — combined with Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) analysis to…

We’re happy to share that our paper, “A compact 100-GHz omnidirectional monopole probe dielectric resonator antenna enabled by micromachined silicon coaxial cavity,” has just been published in the SPIE Digital Library. Designing antennas that work well at very high frequencies—like 100GHz—is not easy. They need to be very small, precise, and efficient. In this work,…

We are excited to share that POLYNICES paper, “A compact 100-GHz omnidirectional monopole probe dielectric resonator antenna enabled by micromachined silicon coaxial cavity”, authored by K. Spanidou, D. Headland, and G. Carpintero, was presented at SPIE Photonics West 2025 on 30 January 2025 in Moscone West, Room 2024 (Level 2). The talk was given by…
