The Institute of Optics at University of Rochester is called "A Jewel in the Crown,"and is considered the birthplace of American Modern Optics.I am delighted to highlight our Institute as its Director, and share the story of my professional focus.My research career in THz technology started when I worked in David Austons group at Columbia University in the late 80s.Since the first demonstration of THz wave time-domain spectroscopy in the early 80s, there has been a series of significant advances (particularly in recent years) on the development of intense sources and sensitive detectors.I will review THz wave generation and detection techniques using pulsed laser.Also, I will explore the remaining challenges and future opportunities for this rapidly evolving area of research that transcends the "gap" once existing between optics and electronics.
