Abstract

Recently there has been an increasing demand for terahertz technology, especially in imaging. In the past few decades, the applications of terahertz (THz) imaging technology have seen significant developments in the fields of biology, medical diagnosis, food safety, and nondestructive testing. The medical and semiconductor industry has always attracted significant attention worldwide. In particular, the importance of real and perfect inspection technologies has been growing due to an increasing demand for improving the quality of life and developing industries. This paper presents the research of THz super-resolution imaging in transmission mode by using different samples. We have reported transmission measurement at different THz frequency of each sample. The butterfly sample used super-resolution THz imaging. The THz super-resolution is obtained excellent at 1.8 THz, it is near about 1 micrometer. Good resolution images have been obtained. This new THz super-resolution techniques can apply in medical and security purposes. Further applications will be reported in the coming papers.
