  • Method and apparatus for terahertz tomographic imaging
    Patent number: 6078047
    Abstract: Providing a compositional image of an object in real time is accomplished by illuminating the object with a waveform comprising pulses of electromagnetic radiation in the terahertz frequency range and measuring the relative time delays of pulses reflected by the object to determine the positions of dielectric interfaces in the object. According to a further embodiment, the waveform includes one or more pulses of terahertz radiation, each pulse having a duration in the range of approximately 10 to 10,000 femtoseconds.

  • Systems and methods for processing and analyzing terahertz waveforms
    Patent number: 5939721
    Abstract: A time-domain signal processing system for displaying, classifying, and recognizing temporal and spectral features in terahertz waveforms returned form materials. Specifically, novel techniques are described for classifying and analyzing the free induction decay exhibited by gases excited by far-infrared (terahertz) pulses. Illustratively, a simple geometric picture may be used for the classification of the waveforms measured for unknown gas species and gas mixtures.
