INTEGRATED TERAHERTZ SENSOR

摘要

Systems and methods may provide for an integrated miniature sensor that operates in the Terahertz region of the electromagnetic spectrum. The integrated miniature sensor may detect a remote target and operate in a non-contact, non-invasive manner. Numerous signal analysis techniques may be employed such as Doppler radar technology, absorption spectroscopy, and others when the integrated miniature sensor is used in biomedical, physiological and other settings where prolonged recording of bio-signals is needed.

1. An electromagnetic sensing system comprising:
a first photomixer integrated in an optical module to transmit an outbound electromagnetic wave signal in the Terahertz region to a remote target; a second photomixer integrated in the optical module to detect an inbound electromagnetic wave signal in the Terahertz region generated by the outbound electromagnetic wave signal reflecting from the remote target; and an electrical module coupled to the optical module to process the inbound electromagnetic wave signal.
