Research Abstract

Three dimensional (3D) terahertz (THz) imaging or THz tomography has recently proven to be useful for non-destructive testing of industrial materials and structures. In place of previous imaging techniques such as THz pulsed/continuous-wave radar and THz computed tomography, we proposed a THz optical coherence tomography (OCT) using photonics- and electronics-based continuous-wave THz sources, and demonstrated superior capabilities of 3D imaging with respect to system size, cost-effectiveness and performance in the frequency regions from 400 GHz to 800 GHz.
