ABSTRACTTerahertz (THz) imaging technique has attracted much attention in recent years, because the technique can be applied to many application fields such as nondestructive analysis and imaging method through optically opaque materials. A THz real-time imaging equipment (Terahertz Camera) considered increasingly important in the future has been developed. We report a THz video rate imaging system consisting of a quantum-cascade laser (QCL) light source as a THz illuminator, and a Si-technology based un-cooled micro-bolometer focal-plane array (an infrared detector common in thermal cameras). We also describe two applications of our imaging system: stand-off imaging for search and rescue in a fire disaster, and label-free biomaterial detection.

AbstractStudies of molecular clouds have shown that they evolve from turbulent gas and dust to form coherent, dense and connected structures. We have conducted a multi-wavelength study of one such molecular cloud, the Perseus star-forming region, which includes Barnard 1 (B1), Barnard 3(B3), Barnard 5 (B5), NGC 1333, IC 348, L1455 and L1448. The data obtained using the Infrared Array Camera (IRAC), Multiple Imaging Photometer (MIPS), the Sub-mm Common User Bolometer Array(SCUBA) and the 2 Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS)provides information about the geometric structure of the dust and gas covering large areas around young stellar objects (YSO), dust temperatures, effect of turbulence and processes of molecule formation and their relevance in the chemical and physical evolution of the cloud. This paper presents our first results.
