Research abstract
"We propose to research, design, and develop optical active filters to allow mmW imaging using standard cameras such as charge-coupled device (CCD) arrays. The proposed device does not require cooling or high voltages and can be made in the same form factoras conventional VIS/NIR cameras. In addition, the number of required components (mixers, amplifiers, downconverters) as well as the information processing load (i.e. in conversion of waveforms to the frequency domain) can be greatly reduced, resulting inlower cost and better signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). These systems by themselves already have a large number of commercial and military applications - including aircraft safety, facilities security, and homeland defense."
