Researchers imaged and analyzed THz waves that propagate in form of plasmon polaritons along thin anisotropic semiconductor platelets with wavelengths reduced by up to 65 times compared to THz waves in free space. What's even more intriguing is that the wavelengths vary with the direction of propagation.
