TeraHertz Schottky-Diode Balanced Mixers
We report on the first THz balanced mixer/upconverter using a Schottky diode MMIC chip. Using an optically pumped laser at 1562 GHz as an LO source with a coupled power of about 1 mW, and 1 mW input at an IF frequency of 10 GHz, we obtained a sideband output power of 23 uW (sum of two sidebands). As a mixer, at an LO of 1621 GHz, we obtain a conversion loss of 12.4 dB DSB and a noise temperatur...
متن کاملReal-time, continuous-wave terahertz imaging by use of a microbolometer focal-plane array.
Real-time, continuous-wave terahertz imaging is demonstrated with a 10 mW, 2.52 THz (118.8 microm) far-infrared gas laser and a 160 x 120 element microbolometer camera. The microbolometer camera is designed for wavelengths of 7.5-14 microm but retains sensitivity at terahertz (THz) frequencies. The setup has no moving parts, and transmission-mode THz images can be obtained at the video rate of ...
متن کاملA compact, continuous-wave terahertz source based on a quantum-cascade laser and a miniature cryocooler.
We report on the development of a compact, easy-to-use terahertz radiation source, which combines a quantum-cascade laser (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 and low electrical pump power. The amount of generated heat complies with the nominal cooling capacity of the Stir...
متن کاملReal Time Qrs Detector Based on Field Programmable Analog Array
In some applications it is important to detect the QRS complex in the ECG waveform with possibly low time delay. Traditional software detectors of the QRS complex implement algorithms usually based on cascades of digital filters that introduce delays up to parts of a second. On the other hand, hardware QRS detectors fulfil the low delay requirements, but have worse adaptive features for the cha...
متن کاملSimple Terahertz Continuous-wave Applications based on a Compact Dual Mode Laser
We demonstrated simple terahertz applications using a coherent homodyne continuous-wave (CW) terahertz (THz) system. The system was developed based on a compact semiconductor dual-mode laser diode (DML). The DML was used for an optical beat source to generate a THz CW. The two lasing modes from the DML are well correlated and generate a high-purity THz CW signal. The system was applied to measu...
