Application of Terahertz Pulse Time-Domain Holography for Phase Imaging

Abstract

Terahertz pulse time-domain holography (THz PTDH) is the powerful technique for high-resolution amplitude and phase THz imaging that allows mapping spectroscopic information across the imaged object. In this paper, we consider most sought after applications of phase imaging provided by this technique and experimentally demonstrate the ability of the method to reconstruct smooth and stepped relief features of an object that is transparent in THz region. Unlike the amplitude distribution, which does not contain any significant information in this case, phase distribution not only reveals the object qualitatively,but also allows the reconstruction of the object thicknessespattern, even in low signal-to-noise registration conditions. Mainlimitations of the proposed method, such as transverse resolutionand low signal-to-noise environment are carefully studied and mitigated.
