A paper co-authored by Prof. Edik Rafailov, highlighting the novel approach for the enhancement of THz photoconductive antenna operation by using optical nanoantennae, was featured on the front cover of the high impact Laser & Photonics Reviews Journal (No 11(1)/2017).
In this paper, the main results on hybrid THz antennas, comparison of the approaches to their implementation, and further perspectives of their development, including an application of all-dielectric nanoantennas instead of plasmonic ones, have been summarised.
