Presentation Transcript

  1. TeraHertz Electronic Optical Systems (TEOS) • Proposed as a framework programme in NL, duration 5 years, total budget 5 M€; 3.75 by Technology Foundation (requested), 1.25 to be contributed by users Focused on three types of systems; • Imaging systems • Systems for spectroscopy • Nanoscopes

  2. Community of interest Scientific community • Delft University of Technology • SRON Netherlands Institute for Space Research (PI of Herschel HIFI) • Eindhoven University Users community • Philips Research, Eindhoven • AKZO NOBEL Chemicals, Arnhem • IMA Edwards Freeze Drying Solutions, Dongen • TNO (Applied Physics) Defence, Security and Safety, The Hague And more…..(production, end users)

  3. Objectives and Focus • THz (0.1-10) imaging systems • High performance large imaging arrays Based on sensitive multiplexable superconducting detectors (KIDs, TES), radiation coupled through a lens antenna quasi-optical system or micro-machined structures • Semiconductor based low-cost and integrated imaging systems Using commercially available process technologies (CMOS/BICMOS); high power sources, low noise detectors • Spectroscopic systems • Time domain spectroscopic systems Novel broadband antennas, detectors, emitters, improving overall system design • Narrow-band spectroscopic systems Combining heterodyne detection techniques with commercially available sc technologies, compact, low cost detection systems (low THz range), materials/gasses/liquids • Nanoscopes Based on novel QCLs, sensitive detection techniques, metal nano tips. Imaging of semiconducting devices with nanometer resolution.

  4. Key technologies • Amplifiers (power, low noise) • Antennas (planar and micro-machined 3 D feeding structures) • Detectors (semi- or super-conductor devices) • Mixers (semi-conductor) • Quasi-optical architectures (focal plane arrays, reflectors, lenses) • Sources (QCLs, CMOS/BICMOS)

  5. Application perspective • Pharmaceutical/(bio)chemical/food (identify characteristic properties of materials) • Security (radiation can penetrate packaging materials) • Non-destructive testing (food packaging control) • Art conservation studies (visualize underpaintings) • Secure wireless communications
