A Practical and Portable Solids-State Electronic Terahertz Imaging System
A practical compact solid-state terahertz imaging system is presented. Various beam guiding architectures were explored and hardware performance assessed to improve its compactness, robustness, multi-functionality and simplicity of operation. The system performance in terms of image resolution, signal-to-noise ratio, the electronic signal modulation versus optical chopper, is evaluated and disc...
متن کاملEmerging issues of connexin channels: biophysics fills the gap.
This summary is a proposed synthesis of available information for the non-specialist. It does not incorporate all the published data, is inconsistent with some, and reflects the biases of the author. Connexin proteins have a common transmembrane topology, with four alpha-helical transmembrane domains, two extracellular loops, a cytoplasmic loop, and cytoplasmic N- and C-terminal domains. The se...
متن کاملMglB Fills a GAP in Bacterial Polarity and Motility
Bacteria exemplify—in miniature and simplified form—many of the processes found in more complex, eukaryotic cells. For example, like their eukaryotic cousins, motile bacteria exhibit polarized morphologies: their front and back ends are distinguished by different concentrations of proteins and specialized cellular structures like pili or flagella. And, just as motile eukaryotic cells can reorga...

متن کاملTuning a terahertz wire laser
Tunable terahertz lasers are desirable in applications in sensing and spectroscopy because many biochemical species have strong spectral fingerprints at terahertz frequencies. Conventionally, the frequency of a laser is tuned in a similar manner to a stringed musical instrument, in which pitch is varied by changing the length of the string (the longitudinal component of the wave vector) and/or ...
