Three‐dimensional printing technologies for terahertz applications: A review

Three‐dimensional (3D) printing technologies enables fast prototyping of complex 3D objects with ever improving printing qualities. To date, 3D printing has been found useful in areas such as manufacturing, industrial design, aerospace, dental and medical industries, and many others. In this article, we review recent advances of 3D printing technologies for terahertz (THz) applications. Different 3D printing technologies and printable materials are first discussed and compared. 3D‐printed THz components and devices, which are categorized as waveguides/fibers, antennas, and quasi‐optical components, are further demonstrated. It is found that the performances and functionalities of 3D‐printed THz devices have been greatly enhanced, while the operating frequencies have been increased from the lower end of THz range to over 1 THz region. With further development of novel materials and printing techniques, it is believed that 3D printing technologies will play an important role in the realization of THz components for efficient control and manipulation of THz waves.     

Performance of liquid‐crystal displays for fire‐service thermal‐imaging cameras

Abstract— As use of handheld thermal‐imaging cameras (TICs) becomes more prevalent in the first‐responder community, it is important that standard test metrics be available to characterize imaging performance. A key performance consideration is the quality of the image presented on the TIC display. This paper focuses on TICs that use liquid‐crystal displays to render an image for the user. Current research on TIC performance for first‐responder applications makes use of trained observers and/or composite‐video‐output‐signal measurements. Trained observer tests are subjective and composite video output tests do not evaluate the performance of the complete imaging system. A non‐destructive objective method was developed that tests the performance of the entire thermal‐imaging system, from the infrared sensor to the display. A thermal target was used to correlate the measured thermal imager composite video output signal with the luminance of the display. A well‐characterized charge‐coupled‐device (CCD) camera and digital recording device were used to measure the display luminance. An electro‐optical transfer function was determined that directly relates the composite video output signal to the luminance of the display, providing a realistic characterization of system performance.

Nonuniform viewing angle of integral imaging display

While the viewing angle (VA) is an important parameter of three‐dimensional (3‐D) displays, a method has not yet been devised to determine the VA. We proposed a new approach to determine a VA of an integral imaging display. An integrated point appears at the cross section between collected rays and a lens array; the VA of the integrated point is thus equal to the angle between the two farthest rays. This approach is useful to determine the VA of all 3‐D displays, because a 3‐D point appears in the cross section of collected rays. The result of this study showed that the VA depends on the position of the integrated point and is smaller than the VA of the conventional calculation.
