Abstract

Images were acquired by the modulation of terahertz electromagnetic signals and compared by modulation frequencies. For the real-time acquisition of images a fast scanning method has been adopted utilizing a galvanometer. The acquired time domain waveforms were transformed into frequency domain data by fast Fourier transformations (FFT). We chose some frequency components to compare the resolution of images. The beam profiles at the focal position were measured by a knife-edge technique. Beam diameter was shown to decrease as the frequency increased. By scanning one- and two-dimensional samples a significant image enhancement was observed with the frequency increment. A nondesouctive imaging system using ㎔ electromagnetic pulses was also demonstrated.

테라헤르츠 전자기파 펄스(테라파)의 변조를 통하여 주파수별 영상을 얻었다. 갈바노미터를 이용한 고속훑기방법으로 시간축 신호를 실시간으로 획득하였고, 이를 fast Fourier transformation을 통하여 주파수별 신호로 변환하였다. 테라파 접속지점에서 파의 공간 분포를 주파수별로 얻었으며 주파수가 증가할수록 집속직경이 축소됨을 확인하였다. 이 접속지점에서 1차원과 2차원 시료를 이동시킴으로써 각각의 주파수별 영상을 얻었고 주파수가 증가할수록 영상의 해상도가 증가함을 확인하였다. 또한 가려진 시료에 테라파를 투과시킴으로써 비파괴영상을 얻었다.
