Chemical sensing in the submillimeter wave regime

چکیده
T-ray systems o er an exciting range of capabilities for chemical and biological diagnostics using the emerging technology of terahertz pulse imaging. We report results from the rst Australian T-ray program and discuss how MOEMS techniques can be applied to decrease the system size. A small portable T-Ray system will cost less and is needed, for example, in endoscopic applications.

Plasma Wave Acceleration of Electron in Bubble Regime in Presence of a Planar Wiggler
The plasma wave acceleration of electron in the bubble regime is investigated in a new configuration containing a planar wiggler. The space-charge field of the laser-created ion channel can focuse and stabilize the electron trajectory to guide it toward the acceleration region. The high-gradient plasma wave field can resonantly accelerate the trapped electron to higher energies in the presence ...
متن کاملPUBLICATION III Submillimeter-wave kinetic inductance bolometers on free-standing nanomembranes
We introduce a microwave submillimeter-wave detector based on an integrated micromesh absorber and superconducting kinetic inductance thermometer on a through-wafer released sub-micron thick membrane. Equilibrium operation achieved by thermal isolation through the membrane geometry enables operation at elevated thermal bath temperatures of 5–10 K. The bolometer operates in a phonon-noise limite...
متن کاملDevelopment of Efficient Backward Wave Oscillators for Submillimeter Applications
Calabazas Creek Research, Inc. is funded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration to develop efficient, light-weight, backward wave oscillators (BWOs) for applications from 300 GHz to 1 THz. These devices are needed as local oscillator (LO) sources in heterodyne receivers. Very low noise heterodyne receivers are needed at submillimeter wavelengths for low-background radioastronomy o...

متن کاملTiO2 based surface acoustic wave gas sensor with modified electrode dimensions for enhanced H2 sensing application
The design and optimization of nanostructure-based surface acoustic wave (SAW) gas sensor is analyzed based on TiO2 sensing layer and modified electrode dimensions. The sensitivity of the gas sensor depends upon the type of sensing layer used and active surface area obtained by varying the aspect ratio. The performance of the sensor is observed from 0.1ppm to 100ppm concentration of ...
