Abstract
We demonstrate a bar code sensing system for the THz region using leaky parallel plate waveguide and an off-axis parabolic mirror. The bars of the bar code are made from metal with air as gaps between them. We use up to 6 bars in the barcode system which can store up to 64 bits. Because the system employs coherent detection, we can further increase the bit density by adding Teflon strips to the barcode, encoding information in both amplitude and phase delay. These bar codes can be manufactured easily and inexpensively, offering a versatile alternative to RFID tags.
