Method of remote broadband terahertz wave sensing utilizing radiation-enhanced-emission-of-fluorescence from gas plasma
RPI ID: 2010-012-201 Innovation Summary: This invention presents a method for detecting terahertz (THz) radiation using plasma-induced fluorescence. An optical beam ionizes a gas volume, and the resulting plasma interacts with THz waves to produce detectable fluorescence. The system enables sensitive, non-contact detection of THz radiation. It is ideal for security, spectroscopy, and imaging applications. Challenges / Opportunities: Detecting THz radiation with high sensitivity and resolution is a challenge in many fields. This invention offers a novel detection mechanism that enhances performance and simplifies system design. It opens opportunities in non-invasive diagnostics and remote sensing. Key Benefits / Advantages: ✔ High sensitivity to THz radiation ✔ Non-contact detection ✔ Real-time response ✔ Scalable and compact system Applications: • Security screening • Spectroscopy • Biomedical imaging • Remote sensing Keywords: #TerahertzDetection #PlasmaFluorescence #THzImaging #NonContactSensing #Spectroscopy Intellectual Property: US Issued Patent 8653462
