Abstract
Reflective terahertz imaging with a first-order Hermite–Gaussian laser beam was experimentally investigated. High spatial resolution targets prepared by direct laser microprocessing were used to evaluate the performance. The reflection imaging system at 2.524 THz frequency demonstrated up to diffraction limited resolution using the single focusing mirror with the numerical aperture not smaller than 0.6. The mode laser beam was also applied for practical samples such as silicon solar cell terahertz (THz) imaging. It is shown that usage of appropriate optics enables us to obtain high-quality THz images with the multimode laser beam.
