  3. What’s special about THz Optics ? • Wavelength = ~100 mm • MEMS fabrication • Laser micro-machining • Extremely broad bandwidth : df/f=1 • Dispersion engineering • Sub-diffraction limit optics ~l/100 • Coherent Emission and Detection • Laser Induced Terahertz Emission • Amplitude and Phase measurement

  4. The First Terahertz Imaging First THz imaging ???

  5. Far-Infrared Imagery Source: 0.3-1THz (Commercial HCN laser, etc) 1-10mW Detector: liquid helium –cooled GaAs. Future direction: coherent detection, “Rapidly advancing FIR technology indicates that an FIR imaging system can be developed for industrial, military, law enforcement, and medical applications in the next few years.” T. S. Hartwick, D. T. Hodges, D. H. Barker, and F. B. Foote, Applied Optics 15, 1919 (1976).

  6. The First Terahertz Imaging They predicted …

  7. Hu and Nuss : Future Directions • “In future implementations, the THz beam could be scanned across the sample instead.” • “With current microelectronics fabrication technology, one should be able to fabricate a 100 x100 focal-plane array of photo-conducting dipole antennas to replace the single dipole detector that we used.” • “An obvious future improvement of the T-ray imaging technology will include the use of speech recognition algorithms for recognition of the THz waveforms in amplitude and phase.” “Imaging with Terahertz Waves” Hu and Nuss, OL 20, 1716 (1995). THz beam over the sample …

  9. Real-Time THz Imaging : QCL • Standoff operation (>25 m) • Real-time operation • QCL 50 mW power : bright source • uncooledmicrobolometer camera : low sensitivity • To use atmospheric windows at 4.9 THz, 1.5 THz, etc. • Images taken with 1 s (20 frames) : Res. <0.75 mm “Real-time terahertz imaging over a standoff distance” Lee, Qin, Kumar, Willams and Hu, APL 89, 11125 (2006). THz beam over the sample …

  10. THz Reciprocal Imaging • Single detector to read out 2D target. • 2D signals are separated in timed sequence. • To avoid crosstalk : mod. freq. are prime numbers. • Need source array with each modulated at a different frequency. “Terahertz wave reciprocal imaging” Xu and Zhang, APL 88, 151107 (2006). Still needs a lot of development …

  11. Fresnel Lens THz tomography Targets are along the beam line. z= 3, 4, 7cm. Patterns are images at z’=6cm. The corresponding focal lengths are achieved at 0.75, 1.24, and 1.57 THz. Wang and Zhang (2002). KAIST

  12. None of these have spectroscopic capability, and THz beams were used as a simple wave. Simple wave Complex wave Image encryption and decryption through THz waveforms ??? Here is how. KAIST - Physics THz CDMA imaging…
