Terahertz Technology for Imaging and Communications

Description

The recent development of easy-to-use resources and detectors of terahertz radiation has enabled growth in applications of terahertz imaging and sensing. This vastly adaptable technology offers great potential across a wide range of areas and guidance for terahertz technology for imaging, sensing and communications explores the fundamental principles, important developments and key applications emerging in this exciting field. The book “Terahertz Technology for Imaging and Communications” presents information about Terahertz science, Terahertz photo-detectors and Terahertz Lasers. A special emphasis is given to room temperature operation of long wavelength photo-detectors based on novel quantum dots (Centered Defect Spherical Quantum Dots). Moreover, a complete analysis of systems based on Quantum Cascade structures to detect far infrared wavelengths is provided. Finally, the book presents Terahertz laser principles considering multi-color lasers in this range of wavelengths which is useful for laser engineers, manufacturers of sensing devices and imaging equipment, security companies and professional working in the process monitoring, and academics in this field.
