This paper presents a design of planar antennas integrated with MOSFETs to form a THz radiation detector. The antennas have been developed on thin substrates in order to increase the detector responsivity through eliminating substrate modes responsible for electromagnetic power losses.

IR/THz double resonance spectroscopy has recently been proposed as a method of chemical remote sensing with isotopic molecular recognition specificity at atmospheric pressures for distances approaching one kilometer.[1] Double resonance signatures are calculated, from which the sensitivity and hardware requirements for a double resonance remote sensing spectrometer may be estimated. The extension of this technique to heavier and more complex molecules is discussed.

We describe the initial phase of a long path terahertz time-domain spectroscopy apparatus to detect THz rotational spectra of small vapor phase molecules within the atmospheric transparency windows. We discuss the measurements first for a relatively short path THz propagation path of 6.2 meters, and then for a much longer path of 170 meters.

We present IR emission images obtained from semiconductor devices using compressive sensing mathematics combined with a single-element infrared photon detector as method of defect detection. High signal to noise ratio, robust measurements and fast acquisition have make compressive imaging a strong supplement to traditional IR analysis systems.

Microbolometers based on two dimensional electron gas (2DEG) medium in GaN semiconductor were fabricated and characterized. Low contact resistance (below 0.5 Ω·mm) achieved in our devices ensures that the THz voltage primarily drops across the active region. Due to small electron momentum relaxation time, the inductive part of the impedance in our devices is small, so these sensors can be combined with standard antennas or waveguides. Optical transmission measurements of the GaN heterostructures indicate that the 2DEG has significant coupling to the THz radiation due to Drude absorption up to frequencies well above 3 THz (100 cm−1) caused by high electron concentration (∼1–4 × 1013 cm−2) and short momentum relaxation time (∼10−12 sec). The normalized terahertz responsivity level defined as (dJ/J)/P is estimated to be 1.2×10−2 W−1 at 1.84 THz with dR/dT of ∼3Ω/K at room temperature in our device.

We performed in vivo THz-fiber-scanning transmission imaging study on a subcutaneous xenograft mouse model for early human breast cancer detection. We continuously monitored the growth of human breast cancer in mice. The in vivo study indicates the THz imaging can distinguish cancer cells from the surrounding fatty tissue with a high sensitivity.

We demonstrate a FTIR system that allows for infrared-spectroscopic nano-imaging with a thermal source (nano-FTIR). Based on super-focusing of thermal radiation with an infrared antenna and strong signal enhancement using an asymmetric FTIR spectrometer, we improve the spatial resolution of conventional IR spectroscopy by 2 orders of magnitude.

A major upgrade to the electron cyclotron heating complex on the DIII-D tokamak is underway. Two depressed collector gyrotrons are being added to the complex and the transmission lines are being upgraded. Transmission line efficiencies are being increased by reduction in the number of miter bends together with improved alignment resulting in improved mode purity.
