Description
About the
NASA Postdoctoral Program
The NASA Postdoctoral Program (NPP) offers unique research opportunities to highly-talented scientists to engage in ongoing NASA research projects at a NASA Center, NASA Headquarters, or at a NASA-affiliated research institute. These one- to three-year fellowships are competitive and are designed to advance NASAs missions in space science, Earth science, aeronautics, space operations, exploration systems, and astrobiology.
Description:
This research area is intended for the development of terahertz sensors, sources, instruments for applications in Earth, planetary and space science. Emphasis is placed on laboratory technology demonstration for future insertion into ongoing or upcoming NASA mission proposal opportunities. Spin off applications in defense and security, biology and medicine are also part of ongoing investigations. Specific component based research topics include Terahertz Schottky mixers and detectors, superconducting detectors and down converters, terahertz oscillators, amplifiers and electron tube sources, nanotubes, photomixers, bolometers, passive THz waveguide and quasi-optical elements, and THz antennas and planar arrays. Applications include passive remote sensing (both room temperature and cryogenically cooled systems), active spectroscopy (frequency and time domain), advanced radar imaging, biomedical interactions and exobiology. Candidates will work with an experienced team of technologists and instrument designers who specialize in terahertz devices, systems, components and applications. Background information can be found at: http://thz.caltech.edu, and in the following three review articles: (1) P.H. Siegel, "Terahertz Technology," IEEE Trans. Microwave Theory and Techniques, vol. 50, no. 3, March 2002, pp. 910-928, (2) P.H. Siegel, THz Technology in Biology and Medicine, IEEE Trans. Microwave Theory and Techniques, vol. 52, no. 10, pp. 2438-2448, Oct. 2004, (3) P.H. Siegel, THz Instruments for Space, IEEE Transactions on Antennas and Propagation, November 2007.
