Design and Modeling of Semiconductor Terahertz and Infrared Sensing Structures for Protein Characterization by Maximilian Bettenhausen Pdf

Das Gebiet der Bio-Sensorik wird für die Medizin und die biologische Grundlagenforschung immer bedeutender. In diesen Bereichen ist die Untersuchung charakteristischer Eigenschaften von Membranproteinen unerlässlich, da sie die Kommunikation und Aktivität biologischer Zellen verantworten. Darüber hinaus steuern sie den Transport verschiedener Substanzen in die Zelle und eignen sich als Ziel von Medikamenten. Diese Art von Proteinen weisen charakterisitsche Resonanzen zwischen 200GHz und 2 THz auf. In dieser Arbeit wird das Design von gekoppelten plasmonischen THz-Antennen gezeigt. Diese Antennen bestehen aus hochdotiertem Germanium auf einem Siliziumsubstrat und verfügen über eine Resonanzfrequenz von 500 GHz. Sie bieten eine hohe Empfindlichkeit für dünne Schichten in einer wässrigen Lösung und eignen sich für die Charakterisierung von Proteinen im THz-Bereich. Der Entwurf dieser Antennen wird mithilfe von Finite-Elemente-Simulationen durchgeführt. Da solch ein Entwurf einen hohen Rechenaufwand umfasst, wird ein weiterer Ansatz gezeigt. Die plasmonische Antenne wird als RLC-Schwingkreis beschrieben, was Designs mit analytischen Berechnungen ermöglicht. Aufgrund dieser Berschreibung kann eine Anpassung der Impedanz zwischen Antenne und Biomolekül durchgeführt werden, wodurch die Struktur weiter optimiert wird. Neben dem THz-Bereich wird auch der Infrarot-Bereich untersucht. Dort sind Proteinbindungsprozesse zu beobachten. In dieser Arbeit wird eine neuartige Struktur untersucht, um die Brechungsindexdispersion von Proteinen zu messen. Für diese Untersuchung wird ein Array aus Silizium-Mikrosäulen analysiert. Sie zeigen eine hohe Sensitivität für sehr dünne Schichten. Die Ergebnisse dieser Arbeit zeigen, dass sich die untersuchten Sensorstrukturen für die Charakterisierung von Membranproteinen im THz- und Infrarot-Bereich sehr gut eignen. Weiterin sind sie kompatibel zu BiCMOS Prozessen und ermöglichen die kostengünstige Herstellung von Lab-on-Chip Architekturen.

Terahertz Sources and Systems by R.E. Miles,P. Harrison,D. Lippens Pdf

Terahertz technology has moved on from being a useful but expensive circuit technique, applied largely in astronomy and space science, to become a subject in its own right, with important applications - terahertz imaging in particular. Indeed, the driving force in terahertz technology is currently imaging and spectroscopy. We now have the means to obtain images and chemical information in this frequency band. The images reproduced in this volume are striking and, not surprisingly, the clinical and analytical uses are the subject of intense activity. There is still, however, no complete range of active THz electronic components, but an encouraging conclusion of the book is that THz electronics will become necessary in communications systems in the foreseeable future. Terahertz technology has come of age, and the future lies open to new, exciting science and vital applications.

Advances in Terahertz Technology and Its Applications by Sudipta Das,N. Anveshkumar,Joydeep Dutta,Arindam Biswas Pdf

This book highlights the growing applications of THz technology and various modules used for their successful realization. The enormous advantages of THz devices like higher resolution, spatial directivity, high-speed communication, greater bandwidth, non-ionizing signal nature and compactness make them useful in various applications like communication, sensing, security, safety, spectroscopy, manufacturing, bio-medical, agriculture, imaging, etc. Since the THz radiation covers frequencies from 0.1THz to around 10THz and highly attenuated by atmospheric gases, they are used in short-distance applications only. The book focuses on recent advances and different research issues in terahertz technology and presents theoretical, methodological, well-established and validated empirical works dealing with the different topics.

Terahertz Science and Technology for Military and Security Applications by Dwight L. Woolard,James O. Jensen,R. Jennifer Hwu Pdf

The inherent advantages and potential payoffs of the terahertz (THz) regime for military and security applications serve as an important driver for interest in new THz-related science and technology. In particular, the very rapid growth in more recent years is arguably most closely linked to the potential payoffs of THz sensing and imaging (THz-S&I).This book presents some of the leading fundamental research efforts towards the realization of practical THz-S&I capabilities for military and security applications. Relevant subjects include theoretical prediction and/or measurement of THz spectroscopic phenomenon in solid-state materials such as high explosives (e.g. HMX, PETN, RDX, TNT, etc.), carbon-fiber composites, biological agents (e.g. DNA, RNA, proteins, amino acids) and organic-semiconductor nanostructures. Individual papers also address the effective utilization of state-of-the-art THz-frequency technology in military and security relevant scenarios such as standoff S&I, screening of packages and personnel, and perimeter defense. Technical papers introduce novel devices and/or concepts that enhance THz source and detector performance, enabling completely new types of sensor functionality at THz frequency (e.g. detection at nanoscale/molecular levels), and defining new and innovative sensing modalities (e.g. remote personnel identification) for defense and security. Therefore, the collective research presented here represents a valuable source of information on the evolving field of THz-S&I for military and security applications.
