Terahertz read-out

Rapid and precise read-out of terahertz sensor by high-speed asynchronous optical sampling

Introduction: Frequency selective surfaces (FSS) are based on metallic resonator arrays with tailored transmittance and reflectivity properties [I]. Recently, it has been proposed in a numerical study to use THzFSS based on asymmetric split ring resonators as a sensor for detecting biomolecular sample films with a thickness of only 10 nm [2]. Because large biomolecules, e.g. DNA, exhibit a mult...

Nonvolatile read-out molecular memory.

A versatile molecule is described that performs as a nondestructible read-out optical-storage molecular memory. This molecular memory is composed of two distinct molecules that are chemically bonded to each other to form a single molecule with unique properties. One component is a photochromic fulgimide, and the other is a strongly fluorescing oxazine dye. This composite molecule was specifical...

Multi-Read Out Data Simulator

We present a data simulation package designed to create a series of simulated data samples for a detector with non-destructive sampling capability. The original intent of this software was to provide a method for generating simulated images for the Next Generation Space Telescope, but it is general enough to apply to almost any non-destructive detector or instrument. MultiDataSim can be used to...

Terahertz lens made out of natural stone.

Terahertz (THz) time-domain spectroscopy probes the optical properties of naturally occurring solid aggregates of minerals, or stones, in the THz frequency range. Refractive index and extinction coefficient measurement reveals that most natural stones, including mudstone, sandstone, granite, tuff, gneiss, diorite, slate, marble, and dolomite, are fairly transparent for THz frequency waves. Dolo...
