Abstract
AbstractIn terahertz (THz) quasi‐optical systems, the real‐time profiling and visualization of THz beams is of great importance for beam focusing and collimation applications. Herein, a cost‐effective and room‐temperature‐operated THz imaging device for this purpose is demonstrated experimentally using a flexible and broadband THz absorber based on a vertically aligned carbon nanotube (VACNT) array. Excellent THz absorption performances with an average power absorptance >96.8% are achieved within 0.1 and 2.5 THz. The energy of the incident THz wave is absorbed by the THz absorber and converted into heat that will re‐radiate and can be detected by an infrared (IR) camera as a result of the THz‐to‐IR conversion mechanism. Real‐time THz beam imaging and monitoring applications are demonstrated by a series of experiments at both 0.1 and 0.3 THz, providing an alternative approach for real‐time beam profiling and monitoring of THz waves.
