    Area of Science:

    • Physics
    • Optics
    • Imaging Science

    Background:

    • Terahertz (THz) imaging offers non-ionizing, non-destructive analysis capabilities.
    • Traditional THz imaging often relies on amplitude or phase information.
    • Tomographic reconstruction typically requires data from multiple angles or projections.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To demonstrate a novel tomographic imaging technique using terahertz (THz) pulses.
    • To utilize the temporal information of THz pulses for 3D imaging.
    • To enable reflection-based tomographic reconstruction without requiring multiple angular views.

    Main Methods:

    • Employing terahertz (THz) time-domain spectroscopy in a reflection setup.
    • Utilizing the time-of-flight of reflected THz pulses from refractive-index discontinuities.
