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 کاملSimulation of a Neutron Detector for Real Time Imaging Applications
Monte Carlo Method is used to simulate a double layer gadolinium-amorphous silicon thermal neutron detector. The detector fabricated in pixel array configuration has various applications including neutron imaging. According to the simulation results, a detector consisting of a gadolinium (Gd) film with thickness of 2-4 ~m, sandwiched properly with two layers of sufficiently thick (-30 ?µm) hydr...
متن کاملBiomedical applications of a real-time terahertz color scanner
A real-time THz color scanner has the potential to further expand the application scope of THz spectral imaging based on its rapid image acquisition rate. We demonstrated three possible applications of a THz color scanner in the biomedical field: imaging of pharmaceutical tablets, human teeth, and human hair. The first application showed the scanner's potential in total inspection for rapid qua...
متن کاملDevelopment of Diamond Schottky Barrier Diode
Diamond, which has excellent physical properties, is attractive for use in industrial applications. Because diamond is rated the highest for hardness and heat conductivity among all known materials, it is widely used for products such as abrasive grains, cutting tools, and heatsinks. Diamond also exhibits excellent transparency even in the ultraviolet range and can be applied to optical tools. ...
متن کاملSignal-Conditioning Block of a 1 × 200 CMOS Detector Array for a Terahertz Real-Time Imaging System
A signal conditioning block of a 1 × 200 Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor (CMOS) detector array is proposed to be employed with a real-time 0.2 THz imaging system for inspecting large areas. The plasmonic CMOS detector array whose pixel size including an integrated antenna is comparable to the wavelength of the THz wave for the imaging system, inevitably carries wide pixel-to-pixel varia...
