Abstract

Recent progress in the field of terahertz (THz) imaging is overviewed. First, various THz-wave sources developed and recently improved in our group are described. Second, imaging of samples can be achieved in different modes, of which we discuss here the transmission mode and the reflection-scattering mode. An emphasis in placed on the latter, which can be used to detect and determine for example the distribution of powders inside THz-transparent containers and packages. One-frequency or wide-spectrum imaging can be extended to chemical imaging, a technique by which images acquired at different THz frequencies can be combined to allow the identification of the chemical composition of the target at each spatial position. Other THz imaging applications are also discussed.
