Technical objectives

• Develop a monolithic multispectral terahertz, Infrared, and

visible focal plane array detector based on a CMOS substrate working at room-temperature

• Develop a high power, small band tunable terahertz source

using components with the potential of getting a low cost technology in future

• Design a subsystem capable of doing passive visible, infrared,

and terahertz imaging as well as active stand off terahertz spectroscopy

• Validation of multispectral imaging and spectroscopy system for

use in an airport security environment
