Clara Saraceno, PI of MARIE Project S02, is featured as lead author of a cover article in Optics & Photonics News (October 2025). The article "High-Power Ultrafast Moves into the Terahertz" highlights groundbreaking advances in laser-driven terahertz sources, where her research group at Ruhr University Bochum is pushing the boundaries of high-average-power THz technology. The article showcases how modern Ytterbium-based ultrafast laser systems are revolutionizing terahertz science, enabling record-setting sources approaching watt-level average powers. These developments are opening new possibilities for ultrafast spectroscopy, materials science, and industrial applications—from quality control to pharmaceutical inspection.
