Terahertz Imaging System based on Superconducting Integrated Receiver. ... Employing an SIR in an imaging system means building an entirely new instrument with many advantages compare to traditional systems : i) high temperature resolution , comparable to the best results for incoherent receivers; ii) high spectral resolution allowing spectral analysis of various substances; iii) the local oscillator The paper presents a prototype THz imaging system using an 1 pixel SIR. ...
