We explore the potential of 3D metal printing to realize complex conductive terahertz devices. Factors impacting performance such as printing resolution, surface roughness, oxidation, and material loss are investigated via analytical, numerical, and experimental approaches. The high degree of control offered by a 3D-printed topology is exploited to realize a zone plate operating at 530 GHz. Reflection efficiency at this frequency is found to be over 90%. The high-performance of this preliminary device suggest that 3D metal printing can play a strong role in guided-wave and general beam control devices in the terahertz range.

Ultrashort photoemitted electron bunches can provide high electron currents within sub-picosecond timeframes, enabling time-resolved investigations of ultrafast physical processes with nanoscale resolution. Non-resonant conductive nanotips are typica
lly employed to realize nanoscale photoelectron sources with high brightness. However, such emitters require complex non-scalable fabrication procedures featuring poor reproducibility. Planar resonant antennas fabricated via photolithography have been recently investigated, also because of their superior field enhancement properties. Nevertheless, the electron emission from these structures is parallel to the substrate plane, which limits their practical use as electron sources. In this work, we present an innovative out-of-plane, resonant nanoantenna design for field-driven photoemission enabled by high-resolution 3D printing. Numerical and experimental evidences demonstrate that gold-coated, terahertz resonant nanocones provide large local electric fields at their apex, automatically ensuring out-of-plane coherent electron emission and acceleration. We show that the resonant structures can be conveniently arranged in an array form, for a further significant electron extraction enhancement via a collective terahertz response. Remarkably, such collective behaviour can also be harvested to boost photoemission from an individual nano-source. Our approach opens the path for a new generation of photocathodes that can be reproducibly fabricated and designed at will, significantly relaxing the requirement for intense terahertz drivers.
A Bragg waveguide-based resonant fluidic sensor operating in THz band is studied. A fused deposition modeling 3D printing technique is employed to fabricate the sensor where the liquid analyte is flowing in the microfluidic channel integrated into th
e waveguide cladding. The analyte refractive index-dependent resonant defect state supported by the fluidic channel is probed by tracking the resulting absorption dip and phase change of the core-guided mode on waveguide transmission spectra. The proposed fluidic sensor can open new opportunities in applied chemical and biological sensing as it offers a non-contact measurement technique for monitoring refractive index changes in flowing liquids.
Compact and robust waveguide chips are crucial for new integrated terahertz applications, such as high-speed interconnections between processors and broadband short-range wireless communications. Progress on topological photonic crystals shows potent
ial to improve integrated terahertz systems that suffer from high losses around sharp bends. Robust terahertz topological transport through sharp bends on a silicon chip has been recently reported over a relatively narrow bandwidth. Here, we report the experimental demonstration of topological terahertz planar air-channel metallic waveguides which can be integrated into an on-chip interconnect. Our platform can be fabricated by a simple, cost-effective technique combining 3D-printing and gold-sputtering. The relative size of the measured topological bandgap is ~12.5%, which entails significant improvement over all-silicon terahertz topological waveguides (~7.8%). We further demonstrate robust THz propagation around defects and delay lines. Our work provides a promising path towards compact integrated terahertz devices as a next frontier for terahertz wireless communications.
Mass production of photonic integrated circuits requires high-throughput wafer-level testing. We demonstrate that optical probes equipped with 3D-printed elements allow for efficient coupling of light to etched facets of nanophotonic waveguides. The
technique is widely applicable to different integration platforms.
We demonstrate and characterize a source of Li atoms made from direct metal laser sintered titanium. The sources outgassing rate is measured to be $5 ,(2)cdot 10^{-7}$,$rm{Pa}~ rm{L}~ rm{s}^{-1}$ at a temperature $T=330,^circ$C, which optimizes the n
umber of atoms loaded into a magneto-optical trap. The source loads $approx 10^7$ $^7$Li atoms in the trap in $approx 1$,s. The loaded source weighs 700,mg and is suitable for a number of deployable sensors based on cold atoms.
