Abstract
THz impulse communications is a new system concept based on an imaging radar that we have been developing for biomedical imaging applications the past ten years. Its hybrid architecture combines the high-peak-power and spread-spectrum of photoconductive-switch transmitters with the high-responsivity and broad-bandwidth (RF and video) of Schottky-rectifier receivers. The data is impressed by simple on-off keying of the transmitter utilizing the very stable repetition frequency of the fiber mode-locked laser (MLL) that drives the PC switch.
