Abstract

Experimental results from a video-rate terahertz interferometric imaging system are presented. The source emits continuous narrow bandwidth radiation at 0:1THz. The 2D image of a point source is reconstructed at a rate of 16 ms per frame with a four-element detector array. The image resolution and quality are affected by the number of detectors, the configuration of the detection array, and how well the baselines are calibrated. Details of the hardware system and video-rate terahertz image are presented. © 2009 Optical Society of America.
