Terahertz Imaging Through Dust
| We experimentally demonstrate that THz imaging can provide virtually unimpaired visibility through a dense dust environment that would otherwise result in zero visibility under conventional optical imaging. This work highlights a technological solution to a long-standing problem experienced by conventional optical imaging in brownout conditions. |
