Near-field terahertz imaging with a dynamic aperture

Opt Lett. 2000 Aug 1;25(15):1122-4. doi: 10.1364/ol.25.001122.

Abstract

By introduction of an optical gating beam on a semiconductor wafer, near-field terahertz (THz) imaging with a dynamic aperture has been realized. The spatial resolution is determined by the focus size of the optical gating bean and the near-field diffraction effect. THz imaging with subwavelength spatial resolution (better than 50mum) is demonstrated.
