Advanced Materials & Processes, April, 2007
The development of terahertz (T-rays) screening devices has begun to advance quickly, primarily due to the revolutionary development of terahertz quantum cascade lasers, say researchers at Sandia National Laboratories, Albuquerque, N.M. They are developing the next generation of T-ray screening devices that will identify hazardous and toxic materials even if concealed by clothing and packaging materials.
Working in the underutilized terahertz portion of the electromagnetic spectrum that lies between microwaves and infrared, a team of scientists is harnessing Sandia's strengths in a variety of technical areas with the goal of building a highly integrated miniaturized terahertz transmitter-receiver (transceiver) that could make several applications possible. The...
