Definition
The term, in context
AI-assisted draft · approved dataset
A terahertz plasmonic focal plane array is an imaging sensor chip in which a grid of transistor-based plasmonic detector pixels converts incoming terahertz-frequency radiation into electrical signals, enabling camera-like imaging in the terahertz band for applications such as security screening, materials inspection, and through-barrier sensing.
