THz and submillimeter wave technology is of great interest to DHS S&T due to the non-ionizing and clothing
penetrating properties of the spectral region. Imaging in the region allows for standoff imaging of concealed threats such
as Improvised Explosive Devices (IED) at operationally relevant distances. DHS S&T is investing in this area with the
development of components such as detectors and sources for active imaging as well as full sensor systems in the future.
The fundamental characterization of the region is also being explored with DHS funding by imaging well-characterized
rough surface scattering targets. Analysis of these images will yield data to be used in evaluating assumptions currently
made in current performance models. This along with the relevant field applications will be addressed.
