Compressive THz imaging holds the potential for increased spatial resolution and imaging speed when only a small number of detectors is available. The understanding of illumination patterns is essential in determining the performance for a compressive imaging setup. The results presented here start with an evaluation of the performance of different mask types. Then the influence of deviations of the...
In this report we demonstrate a high-spectral-resolution terahertz (THz) imaging system on the basis of a THz quantum-cascade laser (QCL), a fast scanning mirror (FSM), and a cryogenic-cooled Ge:Ga detector. During the scan through an absorption cell filled with methanol (CH3OH), spectral information is obtained through QCL frequency tuning within a range that covers the feature of interest. Our results...
We investigate a single-pixel camera (SPC) that relies on non-mechanical scanning with a terahertz (THz) spatial light modulator (SLM) and Compressed Sensing (CS) for image generation. The camera is based on a 350 GHz multiplier source and a Golay cell detector. The SLM consists of a Germanium disc, which is illuminated by a halogen lamp. The light of the lamp is transmitted through a thin-film transistor...
The identification of different substances based on terahertz transmittance spectra and multivariate analysis (MVA) is demonstrated. Transmittance spectra are obtained by the use of a Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FTIR). By means of principal component analysis (PCA) and partial least squares regression (PLS) the spectral data were analyzed in order to discriminate and to identify the substances...
We report of a easy-to-use terahertz radiation source, which combines a QCL operating at 3.1 THz with a compact, low-input-power Stirling cooler. The QCL, which is based on a two-miniband design, has been developed for high output powers and low electrical pump power. The whole system weighs less than 15 kg including cooler, power supplies etc. The peak output power is 8 mW at 3.1 THz. The applicability...
Detection of concealed threats at large distances is a key issue in public security. The paper describes a 0.8-THz radar that is capable to indicate hidden objects at a distance of more than 20 meter with a spatial resolution of less than 1 cm. The radar scans the scene with a narrow terahertz beam and uses heterodyne receiver with a hot-electron bolometer mixer. With integration time of 0.3 sec the...
