The SPRINTER Project was delighted to be represented at the International Conference on Infrared Millimeter and Terahertz Waves (IRMMW-THz 2025), held in Helsinki. This leading global event brought together the THz research community to exchange ideas and showcase the latest advances in science and technology.
As part of the conference, our partners from the Grupo de Optoelectronica y Tecnología Láser (GOTL), Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, presented results achieved within SPRINTER on a Dielectric Waveguide Approach for Non-Destructive Extraction of the Complex Refractive Index.
🔬 This innovative method introduces a new way of characterizing materials with high precision while leaving the sample intact. By leveraging dielectric waveguides, researchers are able to extract the complex refractive index in a non-destructive, contactless manner—a breakthrough with wide-ranging applications in photonics and Terahertz science.
👏 We extend our congratulations to Ashish Kumar and Kalliopi Spaniadou for their excellent presentations and thank the GOTL team for their significant contributions. Their research reflects the collaborative spirit that underpins SPRINTER’s mission: enabling the next generation of integrated photonic technologies for ultra-fast communications.
At SPRINTER, we are committed to pushing the boundaries of photonic technologies and supporting Europe’s leadership in Terahertz research. Conferences like IRMMW-THz are crucial opportunities to showcase results, build collaborations, and shape the future of science and innovation.
🔗 Stay tuned for more updates from the SPRINTER Project as we continue our journe y in next-generation photonic integration!
