Abstract
Terahertz focal-plane arrays (THz-FPAs) can revolutionize the terahertz technology market by addressing all critical needs of practical terahertz pulsed imaging (TPI) systems. Such THz-FPAs would transform TPI systems from a metrology tool with a slow scan speed and limited field-of-view to a high-throughput instrument that can be used in industrial settings for various quality control applications. For this purpose, we developed a 64-pixel one-dimensional THz-FPA that can scan a line width of 5 cm to use it in scenarios where moving, continuous material needs to be inspected. The plasmonic nanoantenna technology realizing THz-FPAs helped achieving broadband and high-sensitivity operation.
