In recent five years, the applicant has mainly studied practical terahertz imaging system and spectral system. By solving the core problems in terahertz technology, to meet the major needs of national food and drug, biomedical testing and public safety testing. For example: high efficiency broadband terahertz radiation source, terahertz plasma functional device (to improve terahertz energy density), all fiber integrated stability system, etc. in the application system of these core devices, an integrated time-domain terahertz spectrum system for organic matter detection and an active terahertz scanning imaging system for human body security inspection are developed.
