Abstract:
This paper investigates polarimetric terahertz time domain transmission imaging aiming at enhancing the detection of different regions on the same sample. Here, x-cut quartz crystal adjacent to quartz glass are utilized to compose a sample that hypothetically mimics breast tumor of cancerous and healthy regions, respectively. The obtained images establish a potential advantage of polarimetric terahertz imaging for future use in imaging excised breast cancer tumors.
