   I imagine a CCD during image formation in the optical   
   (EUV -> FIR), is emitting THz radiation from each pixel   
   due to inelastic scattering of mid-IR background from   
   the charge masses in the pixels.   
      
   The pixel size would be of order 10 microns.  The measured   
   frequencies of pixel emissions would then be nu_n = n(nu_o).   
      
   Here nu_o = (c/d)/N, where c is light speed, d is the CCD   
   pixel dimension (square) and N is the dimension (in unit   
   pixels) of the active imaging area of the pixel array.   
   I've found that N=512 (power of two for FFT) is best.   
      
   Interestingly, I find the quantum mode is n = (Ndp_n/h),   
      
   with h = 4.1356e-15eV sec and momentum p_n = (h/Nd)n.   
      
   So, how might one conventionally test this idea with a THz   
   detector, without perturbing the image quality of the   
   data read off the dector?   
      
   Any (polite) suggestions of what I should do with this idea   
   most welcome.
