Advancement of TeraHertz Imaging

(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)


Posted by: TotalRecall

ZDNet UK has an interesting article up on the future of capturing terahertz waves to form images of objects through solid materials:

StarTiger, a European Space Agency project, has taken the first terahertz picture of a human hand. Terahertz radiation lies on the boundary between radio and light waves and is far more difficult to detect and analyse than either, but is of huge interest for medical, security, environmental and communication uses; the technology could, for instance, theoretically carry wireless data at terabit speeds.

Some early images produced can be seen here. Additional information is at StarTiger's homepage and EETimes.
