Abstract

A terahertz (THz) time-domain imaging system is developed based on two-dimensional electrooptic sampling with a high-speed complementary metal-oxide semiconductor camera. Spectroscopic images are observed under nondestructive and noncontact conditions to demonstrate transmissive imaging of an L-cystine chip embedded in a polyethylene pellet. Time waveforms that have a time period of 68.1 ps are acquired for 16384 pixels within six minutes during the observation. The L-cystine chip, which has a fingerprint spectrum in the THz region, is depicted clearly in the spectroscopic image at the fingerprint frequency by reassembling the image from the spectrum obtained by Fourier transform of the acquired time waveforms..
