We developed a near-field probe for high-resolution terahertz (THz) imaging, achieving 7-micron resolution. This probe advances THz microscopy for detailed material analysis.

Area of Science:

  • Physics
  • Optics
  • Materials Science

Background:

  • Terahertz (THz) imaging offers unique capabilities for non-destructive analysis due to its spectral range.
  • Achieving high spatial resolution in THz imaging has been a significant challenge, limiting its application in microscale investigations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce and characterize a novel near-field probe for enhanced spatial resolution in terahertz imaging.
  • To evaluate the performance of the probe in a collection mode configuration.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a specialized near-field probe designed for terahertz pulse interaction.
  • Utilizing broadband terahertz pulses with a spectral peak around 0.5 THz for imaging.
  • Experimental setup configured for near-field probe operation in collection mode.
