| Research Abstract |
THz imaging techniques to image the internal structure and map the functional state of various targets are promising and desirable diagnostic tools because of their non-invasiveness under adequate incident power of a few mW. The advantages of THz imaging are that THz-wave radiation is non-ionizing and safe, the observed image has submillimeter-scale resolution, and many materials are relatively transparent to THz waves, including paper, plastics, and cardboard. In this research, we propose an imaging system with a heterodyne detection receiver for high sensitivity imaging. For a practical use, we developed a THz CT imaging system using heterodyne detection method. Furthermore, We demonstrated a depth-resolved 3D imaging based on absorption contrast using the tomosynthesis technique, which is similar to computed tomography except that the number of projections is much smaller. We applied the back-projection method suitable for the constructed detection configuration to an image reconstruction. Using the system, we imaged a paper phantom, and reproduced characters written by pencil.
