Abstract

We had proposed a correlating synthesis method for terahertz imaging using a pulse reflection mode terahertz time-domain spectrometry system. The efficiency of the method for improving the resolution and eliminating fake images was verified by numerical simulations and experiments with two metal cylinders. However, an artifact image between the two reflectors is markedly shown. Moreover, the multi-reflection and the influence of echo distortion caused by the directivity of the terahertz beam have not been discussed. For application of imaging complicated target, this paper addresses following issues: 1) multi-reflection between reflectors, as well as the effect of the direction of polarization of terahertz wave; 2) distortion of echo signals from targets distributed in a broader area, as well as the effect of concave lenses. Finally, the efficiencies of these proposals are verified by an imaging experiment with five metal cylinders.
