Postdoctoral Research Associateship in THz Spectroscopic Imaging - Army
Postdoctoral Research Associateship in THz Spectroscopic Imaging
US Army Missile Command, Redstone Arsenal (Huntsville), AL
Description:
Research will focus on development and exploitation of spectroscopic imaging in the 0.1-1.0 THz spectral region. In addition to traditional vapor phase single- and double-resonance molecular spectroscopy, research activities include molecular spectroscopy in non-cooperative environments (ambient atmosphere, cluttered by obscurants, nonequilibrium states); passive and active stand-off imaging of THz emitters and absorbers; and nondestructive imaging of materials and targets through various obfuscating coatings, films, and overlayers. Applications include (1) stand-off and point detection and imaging of chemical and biological agents, toxins, and trace gases using passive and active techniques; and (2) imaging of obscured objects, including nondestructive testing of material defects, using resonant excitation of submillimeter features. In addition, honest broker research is performed to assess the practical potential for THz radiation to solve other problems of military interest, including autonomous agent detection; seeing through walls and obscurants; stealthy, high bandwidth communications; collision avoidance; and advanced radar. Supporting all these activities, THz technology and techniques are developed that enable practical deployment of THz capabilities.
