  • Publication number: 20180100767
    Abstract: A radiation detection technique employs field enhancing structures and electroluminescent materials to converts incident Terahertz (THz) radiation into visible light and/or infrared light. In this technique, the field-enhancing structures, such as split ring resonators or micro-slits, enhances the electric field of incoming THz light within a local area, where the electroluminescent material is applied. The enhanced electric field then induces the electroluminescent material to emit visible and/or infrared light via electroluminescent process. A detector such as avalanche photodiode can detect and measure the emitted light. This technique allows cost-effective detection of THz radiation at room temperatures.

  • Patent number: 9829379
    Abstract: A two-dimensional (2D) spectroscopy system and a 2D spectroscopic analysis method are disclosed. The 2D spectroscopy system includes: a light transmission delayer configured for forming a plurality of first light pulses from first light pulse and causing a relative time delay therebetween; a response pulse wave generator configured for generating a plurality of response pulse waves responds and having a relative time delay, and for irradiating the plurality of response pulse waves on the sample; an optical readout pulse array generator configured for forming an optical readout pulse array by splitting the second light pulse into a plurality of regions having different time delays and spatially discriminated from one another; and a reader configured for reading out by overlapping the optical readout pulse array with a signal generated from the sample.
