A low cost and fully passive Terahertz inspection system based on nano-technology for security application

Objectif

The objective of TERAEYE is to develop an innovative range of inspecting passive systems, based on Terahertz (THz) wave detection, to detect harmful materials for homeland security. Main applications will be related to airports security systems, surveillance of crowded areas such as railway and metro stations; detection of chemical and biological harmful substances and hazards in post and goods. TERAEYE aims at a technological breakthrough in the THz sector through the development of a new fabrication process for cheap nano-fabricated 2-D matrix array of detectors that will strongly reduce the production cost of the THz sensors. These technological developments would constitute the basis for the longterm breakthrough introduction of totally new detection and scanning systems to be applied for security applications, thus opening up new market perspectives for a new set of products and services based on the passive THz detection, and thereby supporting a radical transformation in the security sector. TERAEYE has been conceived as an IP, being a large-scale industry-driven research initiative aimed at creating new applicable knowledge and integrating breakthrough technological solutions, having a strong inter-disciplinary character, in a full range of products and services. The project addresses vertical integration of the full value-chain of innovation stakeholders from the basic nanoscience-based development of the sensor through the industrial technology development, to the final product design and development. TERAEYE addresses horizontal integration as it fosters scientific multidisciplinarity (nanoscience, electronics, cryogenics, spectral imaging) and promises to trigger innovation in a variety of secondary industrial sectors.
