Terahertz focal-plane array enables real-time, super-resolution imaging.

The article discusses the development of a plasmonic photoconductive terahertz focal-plane array (THz-FPA) by a team of researchers led by UCLA Professors Mona Jarrahi and Aydogan Ozcan. The THz-FPA addresses the imaging speed problem in terahertz time-domain imaging, offering a high-speed, two-dimensional imaging system with applications in nondestructive inspection, particularly for real-time quality control of lithium-ion batteries.
