Temporally Multiplexed Dual-Frequency Terahertz Imaging at Kilohertz Frame Rates
Abstract
Rapidly alternating between two pump laser frequencies excites two atomic states which absorb different frequencies of 0.5 and 1.1 THz in this demonstration. Each terahertz field induces fluorescence at a different wavelength for recording alternating interleaved sequences of images without crosstalk. Synchronizing the laser switch with a camera captures video at KHz frames for each color, limited only by laser power and the fiber switch speed. Future enhancements potentially leads to faster frame rates, and additional laser frequencies enable future hyperspectral imaging applications.
