Graphene-Integrated Microbolometer Array Imaging System: A Novel Approach for Fast and Sensitive Terahertz Detection in Biomedical Applications.

ABSTRACT: Existing biomedical imaging modalities are often restricted by their substantial size, high costs, and potential risks associated with ionizing radiation exposure. Given these challenges, there is an urgent need for innovative imaging systems that not only excel in detection performance but are also compact, cost-effective, and ensure safety for biomedical applications. In response to these requirements, our research introduces an advanced terahertz (THz) microbolometer array imaging system (MAIS), specifically engineered for biomedical detection. At the core of this system is our novel microbolometer, which is distinguished by its unique structure and integration with graphene; its innovative design and strategic material composition substantially enhance the MAIS's efficacy.
