21 Terahertz Bubbles Time-Domain Terahertz Techniques and technology Frequency-Domain Terahertz Techniques and technology Application Examples Detection of toxic gases Measurement of paint layers on automobiles Paper humidity monitoring Terahertz imaging Summary
22 Applications: Detection of toxic gases Task 1: Monitor air quality in public buildings Identify threatening chemicals in a cluttered background E.g. subway station: No false alarm from cleaning agents, perfumes, glue, paint, Task 2: Identify dangerous gases in smoke Optimize combustion processes Early warning in disaster sites Solution: Frequency-domain THz spectroscopy Increased sensitivity at low pressure (~ 100 mbar) high-resolution spectroscopy
23 Absorption (a.u.) Applications: Detection of toxic gases Simulation Measurement Normal pressure low pressure Frequency (GHz) Frequency (GHz) A. Majewski, Goodrich Corp. Compunds of gas mixture can be identified Benefits of THz vs. IR spectroscopy: All gases can be detected with one system Strong THz frequencies detection even of trace amounts
24 Applications: Detection of toxic gases PVC smoke with HCl line Charcoal smoke with HCN lines THz spectroscopy even works through black smoke Ongoing Tokyo University + NTT, Japan N. Shimizu et al., Proc. IRMMW-THz 2012
25 Applications: Measurements of Paint Layers Task: Controlling the thickness of paint layers on automobiles Car paint consists of 3-4 layers (grounding, color, coat layer etc.) Layer thickness typ µm Present measurement methods fail in the case of wet layers UV and NIR don t work either too much scattering Solution: Time-domain THz spectroscopy Use time-of-flight techniques (= pulse echoes ) to determine thickness of layers Critical: layers with high metallic content
26 Applications: Measurements of Paint Layers Example: 3 layers on steel From top to bottom: (1) clear coating, (2) color layer, (3) middle coating, (4) steel plate Blue line: Mirror, red: automobile coating Individual layers can be resolved Accuracy: ~ 2 µm K. Kitagishi et al., Proc. IRMMW-THz 2012
27 Applications: Paper Humidity Monitoring Task: Measuring the water content in paper Essential parameter in paper production Present techniques use radioactive (b) emitter but: possible radiation exposure! THz might provide safer alternative Solution: Time-domain or Frequency-domain THz spectroscopy Water strongly absorbs THz waves Transmission or reflection measurements allow quantification of humidity level
28 Transmittance Phase (rad) Applications: Paper Humidity Monitoring Wetting Drying process of tissue, 200 GHz Time (min) Example: Tissue sprayed with detergent Both terahertz amplitude and phase change with humidity level Amplitude and phase return to original values after ~ 1 hr T. Göbel et al., Techn. Messen 75:12, 623 (2008)
29 Applications: Terahertz Imaging Tasks: quite a few Non-destructive testing Water-content imaging Security screening of parcels and envelopes possibly many more Air bubbles Solution: Laser-based and/or electronic sources Electronic: Image generated within minutes, no spectral information Laser-based: Image acquisition takes ~ 1 hr, but can be combined with spectral information 3D information possible
30 Terahertz Imaging: NDT (i) intended break line (ii) identification label (iii) stampings within the polymer (iv) retainer bars. TeraView Ltd. SynView Airbag cover with break line M. Scheller et al., Appl. Opt. 50:13 (2011) 1884 Bullet hole in Kevlar armor
31 Terahertz Perspectives: Spectroscopy What Terahertz can do: Trace gas analysis Identification of toxic gases Detection of compounds in smoke (opaque for visible/ir light!) Source: University of Marburg Identification of hazardous materials Explosives in parcels / envelopes Bottled liquids can be identified via their refractive index Characterization of material properties Studies of semiconductors: carrier density, DC conductivity,
32 Y (mm) Terahertz Perspectives: Imaging What Terahertz can do: Non-destructive testing Sub-surface cracks, voids, delaminations E.g. windmill blades, aircraft wings, bullet-proof body armor Source: SynView Detection and control of the water content Tool for selective cultivation of plants 50-0, , Inspection of the moisture in plastics and paper , , , , , , , ,1145 Homeland security: short-range imaging X (mm) 0,1300 Source: University of Marburg E.g. mail and parcel scanners Difficult to combine imaging speed and spectral investigations usually only one is possible
33 Summary Terahertz systems have matured first industrial implementations Compact fs-fiber and diode lasers, fiber-pigtailed antennas Pulsed and cw techniques both have merits Pulsed: highest bandwidth, shortest measurement time cw: highest resolution, best dynamic range Electronic sources are suitable for THz imaging
34 Terahertz Sources from TOPTICA Time-domain THz platforms Ultrafast fiber lasers Fiber-coupled InGaAs antennas New: TeraFlash, spectroscopy platform Frequency-domain THz platforms Tunable cw diode lasers Fiber-coupled GaAs & InGaAs antennas TopSellers: TeraScan 850 / 1550
