Abstract

A new kind of 8x8 focal plane array (FPA) based on glow discharge detector (GDD) elements was constructed and tested experimentally. First THz images of this FPA are presented. The data acquisition of this system is performed with a special VLSI board designed for this system. Switching mode is necessary in order to save energy and video rate operation. Recent investigations proved that it is possible to overcome the timing limitations. GDD stabilization time of less than 1 msec was achieved. Moreover, It was shown that heterodyne detection yielded 40 times more sensitivity than the direct detection used today.
