Enhancing microbolometer performance at terahertz frequencies with metamaterial absorbers

Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited === For Terahertz (THz) imaging to be useful outside of a laboratory setting, inexpensive yet sensitive detectors such as uncooled microbolometers will be required. Metamaterials can improve THz absorption without significantly increasing the th...
