Chinese Academy of Sciences Successfully Developed Ultra-high Speed ​​Terahertz Array Imaging Chips

【Chinese instrument network instrument research and development】 High-speed imaging technology is one of the important research directions in the application of terahertz (THz) technology. It has important application value in material analysis, high-energy physics process analysis, biomedical imaging, and human body security. However, the lack of low-temperature matching readout circuits makes the design of fast-response photon-type focal plane array detectors very difficult. This has led to slow progress in high-speed and real-time imaging of THz.

Terahertz imaging device structure
To solve this problem, the research team led by Cao Juncheng, a researcher of the Shanghai Institute of Microsystem and Information Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, used molecular beam epitaxy to stack THz quantum well detectors (THzQWP) and light-emitting diodes (LEDs). Pixel imaging of the THz frequency upconverts the imaging chip. The chip's peak detection frequency is 5.2 THz, equivalent noise power is 5.2pW⁄Hz0.5, and the equivalent imaging pixel is 240×240. The imaging experiment of the THz quantum cascade laser (THzQCL) with this chip has been completed. Real-time imaging of several tens of micrometer diffraction fringes on the THzQCL spot has been achieved (Figure 2), and the THz QCL spot has been completed within 500 ns. Single-frame high-speed imaging (equivalent to two million frames/s imaging speed). The relevant research results were published in Scientific Reports 6, 25383, 2016.

The successful development of the above imaging chip is an important advancement in THz high-speed imaging technology, which is of great significance for the development of high-speed, high-energy physical processes, material analysis, and biomedical imaging technologies in this frequency band.
