Many exciting terahertz imaging applications, such as non-destructive evaluation,
biomedical diagnosis, and security screening, have been historically limited in practical …

Science and technologies based on terahertz frequency electromagnetic radiation (100 GHz–
30 THz) have developed rapidly over the last 30 years. For most of the 20th Century …

Sub-THz imaging techniques are currently emerging with applications especially in security
screening requiring higher throughput in mass transit and public areas. In the context of …

Current state-of-the-art security video cameras operating in the THz regime employ up to a
few hundred detectors together with optomechanical scanning to cover an adequate fieldof …

Kinetic inductance bolometer (KIB) technology is a candidate for scalable submillimeter
wave imaging systems, particularly suitable for person security screening applications. We …

Within the European Commission Seventh Framework Programme (FP7), CONSORTIS
(Concealed Object Stand-Off Real-Time Imaging for Security) has designed and is …

Silicon nitride membrane based cryogenic bolometers exhibit high sensitivity and enable
ultra-sensitive detector applications. Multi-pixel instruments were already introduced as …

In the FP7 project CONSORTIS, a dual-band passive imager is being developed for security
applications. The latter is based on bolometer based kinetic inductance detectors operating …

The demands for high performance concealed object detection in mass transit, public events
or industrial facilities have been increasing in light of increased risks. Concealed object …

Summary form only given. The aim of the European project CONSORTIS is the development
of a walk-by imaging system for concealed object detections working at submillimetre-wave …
