Stretchable Terahertz Imagers for Wearable Bio-monitoring Applications

A carbon nanotube (CNT)-based devise has advantageous features of high absorption ratio in broadband terahertz (THz) frequency region and mechanical bendability. We here report on CNT THz imager, which enables the THz wave detection under mechanical stretching. The developed techniques are highly expected to contribute to non-stressful and wearable applications for bio-monitoring.
