Abstract
A vector network analyzer-based quasi-optical measurement system that is suitable for mapping electric field intensity and phase near to the surface of terahertz reflective optics is presented. The system uses a fixed five parabolic mirror and transmitter/receiver head arrangement that has the benefit of requiring only the sample to be swept during measurement. The system has been tested with a micromilled aluminum zone plate reflector used as an exemplar structure. The measured focal point of the zone plate reflector, at its designed frequency of 1THz, is shown to correspond well to both finite difference time-domain simulations and analytical theory.
