THz+X Seedling Report

Abstract

This report describes efforts undertaken on a seedling project administered through the Army Research Office. The purpose of the seedling was to identify additive techniques or technologies for THz sensing applications, THz+X. The primary application space of interest was standoff sensing of explosives, followed by chemical and biological agents. Two techniques were identified which might prove useful as additive technologies for THz-based sensing. Each is intended to overcome the pressure broadening which is observed at atmospheric ambient pressure and to allow the collection of high resolution THz spectra in terrestrial applications.
