We present results of 2D real-time imaging of terahertz (THz) beam generated by a photoconductive antenna driven by a femtosecond oscillator. The detector, operating at room temperature, is a 320 x 240 array of antenna-coupled microbolometers with integrated CMOS read-out electronics delivering 25 images per second. High quality images of broadband THz beams covering the 0.1-2 THz range are recorded while maintaining a signal-to-noise ratio of 10 for detected THz power as low as 25 nW. The compactness of the easy-to-use uncooled camera makes it very useful for the alignment of systems such as THz time-domain spectrometers and for the characterization of emitters, optics and other components.

Imaging of broadband terahertz beams using an array of antenna-coupled microbolometers operating at room temperature

Terahertz time-domain spectroscopy and imaging is used to study the effects of various hiding techniques of spectral features of drug and explosive simulants in combination with different paper and textile barriers. Results show that rapid detection and identification of concealed simulants is possible in the frequency range from 1.5 to 4.0 THz by using an organic-crystal-based terahertz time-domain system and the spectral peak analysis method.

Terahertz spectroscopic identification of explosive and drug simulants concealed by various hiding techniques.

This paper reviews metrology aspects of terahertz time-domain spectroscopy. Noise is discussed together with its effects on system performance, including frequency-dependent dynamic range, signal-to noise ratio, and the measurement bandwidth. Sources of uncertainties are addressed, as are measurement errors arising from system design and from interactions with the object under test. Finally, techniques of system calibration are described. Commonly encountered issues are addressed and simple practical solutions suggested. Existing literature on the subject is reviewed.

Metrology Issues and Solutions in THz Time-Domain Spectroscopy: Noise, Errors, Calibration

Doping of gallium selenide (GaSe) is effective for controlling the physical properties that affect its frequency conversion efficiency. Despite its promising properties for nonlinear optical conversion, GaSe has not achieved the wide application that some other nonlinear optical materials enjoy. This is mainly due to the weak interlayer van der Waals bonding, which makes it difficult to grow and process large, single-crystals samples of high optical quality. Scientists in Russia and China review the growth of nonlinear GaSe crystals for laser frequency conversion. In particular, they assess recent progress in using doping to modify the physical properties of GaSe crystals. Doping confers many benefits, including raising the optical damage threshold, effectively eliminating two-photon absorption and enabling dispersion in the terahertz range to be controlled independently of that in the mid-infrared range.

Doped GaSe crystals for laser frequency conversion

Optical properties of 4H-SiC were measured using time-domain and Fourier transform spectroscopy in the range of 0.1-20 THz. A high-transparency region was found between <0.1-10 THz. Based on the obtained data and published results, the refractive indices for o-wave and e-wave were approximated in the form of Sellmeier equations for the entire transparency range. Phase matched frequency conversion was found to be possible at wavelengths from the visible through the mid-IR and further into the far-IR (THz) region beyond 17 μm. Extremely low absorption coefficient, high damage threshold, and the possibility of phase matching make this material highly suited for high power THz optics and generation.

Two techniques for imaging a terahertz (THz) beam profile are described and employed in characterizing the THz beam propagation in a time-domain spectrometer. Aperture scanning yields a 2-D cross-sectional map of field amplitude at selected frequencies that is used to track beam evolution along its path. The Hartmann test produces a 2-D topographical image of the wavefront, also at selected frequencies. The results are compared with theory, and the respective advantages of the two methods are discussed.

Characterization of Terahertz Beam Profile and Propagation

Top optical quality nonlinear gallium selenide crystals doped with different sulfur concentrations (1.1, 2.5, 5, 7, 11 mass%) are grown by modified Bridgman method. Physical origins of inaccuracy in the measurement of THz o- and e-wave absorption spectra by THz-TDS are identified. Dominant absorption for o-wave is established for all crystal compositions. Frequency independent absorption within 0.3-2 THz is demonstrated. Phonon mode transformation is studied in detail. Phonon absorption peak for e-wave centered at 1.1 THz is recorded for the first time. It is shown that e-wave THz generation is preferable in GaSe:S (2.5-5 mass%) crystal.

A range of natural and artificial textiles are examined using terahertz time-domain spectroscopy. Different types of textiles are shown to have different terahertz optical properties, which may be employed for textile identification and to combat textile counterfeiting.
