Paper Abstract
This paper describes the design and performance of the U.S. Army RDECOM CERDEC Night Vision and Electronic
Sensors Directorate's (NVESD), active 0.640-THz imaging testbed, developed in support of the Defense Advanced
Research Project Agency's (DARPA) Terahertz Imaging Focal-Plane Technology (TIFT) program. The laboratory
measurements and standoff images were acquired during the development of a NVESD and Army Research Laboratory
terahertz imaging performance model. The imaging testbed is based on a 12-inch-diameter Off-Axis Elliptical (OAE)
mirror designed with one focal length at 1 m and the other at 10 m. This paper will describe the design considerations of
the OAE-mirror, dual-capability, active imaging testbed, as well as measurement/imaging results used to further develop
the model.
