Abstract
Terahertz radiation has emerged as a prominent solution for imaging and detection beyond visible and infrared. Active terahertz imaging is a widely used technology in this context especially for security applications and screening. Such systems are built around an illuminating source, a detecting module and a beam shaping system to match the detectors geometry. The overall system performance is largely dependent on an optimized choice of these modules. In this work, an active sub-terahertz scanning system working at 100 GHz frequency is proposed to detect concealed objects in parcels and mail. The system is optimized based on an adapted design of the beam shaper and a preprocessing correction of the images to ensure uniformity of response and cleanness. The proposed system demonstrated through experimentation improved resolution with a uniform response along its detection area.
期刊介绍:
Rapid progress in optics and photonics has broadened its application enormously into many branches, including information and communication technology, security, sensing, bio- and medical sciences, healthcare and chemistry.
Recent achievements in other sciences have allowed continual discovery of new natural mysteries and formulation of challenging goals for optics that require further development of modern concepts and running fundamental research.
The Journal of the European Optical Society – Rapid Publications (JEOS:RP) aims to tackle all of the aforementioned points in the form of prompt, scientific, high-quality communications that report on the latest findings. It presents emerging technologies and outlining strategic goals in optics and photonics.
The journal covers both fundamental and applied topics, including but not limited to:
Classical and quantum optics
Light/matter interaction
Optical communication
Micro- and nanooptics
Nonlinear optical phenomena
Optical materials
Optical metrology
Optical spectroscopy
Colour research
Nano and metamaterials
Modern photonics technology
Optical engineering, design and instrumentation
Optical applications in bio-physics and medicine
Interdisciplinary fields using photonics, such as in energy, climate change and cultural heritage
The journal aims to provide readers with recent and important achievements in optics/photonics and, as its name suggests, it strives for the shortest possible publication time.
