Abstract
This paper describes a real-time terahertz (THz) imaging system, using the combination of a palm-size THz camera with a compact quantum cascade laser (QCL). The THz camera contains a 320x240 microbolometer focal plane array which has nearly flat spectral response over a frequency range of ca. 1.5 to 100 THz, and operates at 30 Hz frame rate. The QCL is installed in compact cryogen-free cooler. A variety of QCLs are prepared which can cover frequency range from ca. 1.5 to 5 THz. THz images of biochemical samples will be presented, using the combined imaging system. Performance of the imaging system, such as signal-to-noise ratio of transmission-type THz microscope, is predicted.
