Terahertz imaging with nanometer resolution
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report on the application of scanning near-field optical microscopy for terahertz imaging. We demonstrate a spatial resolution of 150 nm for 2.0 THz pulses. Our experiments show the feasibility of submicron THz microscopy for imaging of biologic tissues on the cell level or for the investigation of individual submicron semiconductor devices. © 2003 American Institute of Physics. @DOI: 10.1063/1.1616668#

Terahertz Imaging and Broadband Wireless Communication Using Plasma Oscillations in Nanometer Field Effect Transistors
An overview of recent results concerning THz detection related to plasma nonlinearities in nanometer field effect transistors is presented. In particular nonlinearity and dynamic range of these detectors are discussed. We present also results on THz detection by Graphene field effect transistors. As a conclusion, we will show one of the first real world application of the FET THz detectors: a d...
متن کاملProgress towards terahertz acoustic phonon generation in doping superlattices
Progress is described in experiments to generate coherent terahertz acoustic phonons in silicon doping superlattices by the resonant absorption of nanosecond-pulsed far-infrared laser radiation. Future experiments are proposed that would use the superlattice as a transducer in a terahertz cryogenic acoustic reflection microscope with sub-nanometer resolution.
متن کاملTerahertz near-field nanoscopy of mobile carriers in single semiconductor nanodevices.
We introduce ultraresolving terahertz (THz) near-field microscopy based on THz scattering at atomic force microscope tips. Nanoscale resolution is achieved by THz field confinement at the very tip apex to within 30 nm, which is in good agreement with full electro-dynamic calculations. Imaging semiconductor transistors, we provide first evidence of 40 nm (lambda/3000) spatial resolution at 2.54 ...
متن کاملWaveguide terahertz time-domain spectroscopy of nanometer water layers.
Waveguide terahertz time-domain spectroscopy is demonstrated to have the sensitivity to characterize nanometer-thick water layers on the surfaces of a parallel-plate metal waveguide. The measured far-infrared absorption and index of refraction of the 20-nm water layers are in reasonable self-consistent agreement with those of bulk water.
متن کاملSemiconductor Dynamic Aperture for Near-Field Terahertz Wave Imaging
We describe and discuss near-field terahertz wave imaging with a dynamic aperture created on a semiconductor wafer. The spatial resolution of a near-field terahertz wave imaging system with a dynamic aperture created on a GaAs wafer is determined by the diameter of the gating-beam-induced thin photocarrier layer. With a dynamic aperture created on a GaAs wafer, we have achieved a subwavelength ...
