Simultaneous measurement of orthogonal terahertz fields via an emission multiplexing scheme.

We propose a polarization sensitive terahertz time-domain spectrometer that can record orthogonally polarized terahertz fields simultaneously, using fibre-coupled photoconductive antennas and a scheme that modulated the emitter's polarization. The s and p channels of the multi-pixel terahertz emitter were modulated at different frequencies, thereby allowing orthogonal waveforms to be demultiplexed from the recorded signal in post-processing. The performance of the multi-pixel emitter used in this multiplexing scheme was comparable to that of a commercial single-polarization H-dipole antenna.

Deep THz modulation at Fabry-Perot resonances using graphene in periodic microslits.

Potential applications of terahertz (THz) radiation are constantly being investigated for high-speed communication due to its large bandwidth. For example, frequency hopping communication technology would benefit from the large bandwidth. To attach the information to the carrier wave, THz modulators with deep and stable modulation at different frequencies are crucial, yet are still lacking.

Super Sub-Nyquist Single-Pixel Imaging by Total Variation Ascending Ordering of the Hadamard Basis.

Single pixel imaging (SPI) captures images without array detectors or raster scanning. When combined with compressive sensing techniques it enables novel solutions for high-speed optical imaging and spectroscopy. However, when it comes to the real-time capture and analysis of a fast event, the challenge is the inherent trade-off between frame rate and image resolution.

Real-time terahertz imaging with a single-pixel detector.

Terahertz (THz) radiation is poised to have an essential role in many imaging applications, from industrial inspections to medical diagnosis. However, commercialization is prevented by impractical and expensive THz instrumentation. Single-pixel cameras have emerged as alternatives to multi-pixel cameras due to reduced costs and superior durability.

Noninvasive, near-field terahertz imaging of hidden objects using a single-pixel detector.

Terahertz (THz) imaging can see through otherwise opaque materials. However, because of the long wavelengths of THz radiation (λ = 400 μm at 0.75 THz), far-field THz imaging techniques suffer from low resolution compared to visible wavelengths.
