Research abstract
A high sensitivity, high spectral resolution, rapidly tunable imaging terahertz spectrometer is proposed for seeing through barriers, identifying dynamic targets, and tracking threats while providing continuous chemical analysis of objects in the field of view BENEFIT: USAF and other DoD components are expected to greatly value the enhanced capability for space situational awareness and chemical identification. Commercial applications include passenger and luggage screening, pharmaceutical quality control, and medical applications.)
