Synthetic phased-array terahertz imaging.

چکیده
We demonstrate terahertz (THz) imaging with enhanced spatial resolution by a synthetic phased array. A single mirror is used to separately form two different coherent, diffraction-limited THz images of the same point source. The two images are combined to yield a 4x resolution-enhanced image of the source in one dimension.

Quasi-optic synthetic phased-array terahertz imaging
A quasi-optic terahertz (THz) imaging system that utilizes optoelectronic methods for pulsed THz generation and reception and optical methods for image formation is demonstrated and theoretically explained. The system can be used to produce coherent, field amplitude, and energy density images with diffraction-limited resolution in two transverse dimensions. Simultaneous bandwidth-limited resolu...
متن کاملA Fast Terahertz Imaging Method Using Sparse Rotating Array
For fast and standoff personal screening, a novel terahertz imaging scheme using a sparse rotating array is developed in this paper. A linearly sparse array is designed to move along a circular path with respect to an axis perpendicular to the imaging scenario. For this new scheme, a modified imaging algorithm is proposed based on the frequency-domain reconstruction method in circular synthetic...
متن کاملPhased array ultrasonic imaging using an improved beamforming based total focusing method for non destructive test
One of the novel ultrasonic phased array based scanning methods for ultrasonic imaging in non-destructive test is total focusing method (TFM). This method employs maximum available information of the phased array elements and leads to an improved defect detection accuracy compared to conventional scanning methods. Despite its high detection accuracy, TFM behaves weak in distinguishing the real ...

متن کاملThree-dimensional Real-time Synthetic Aperture Imaging Using a Rotating Phased Array Transducer
Current 3D real-time imaging is done either with sparse 2D arrays, or with mechanically moved phased arrays. The former results in a poor resolution and contrast due to a limited amount of elements. The latter has the disadvantage of low frame rates due to the sequential acquisition of the volume line-by-line and plane-by-plane. This paper describes an approach which combines mechanically moved...
