摘要
以太赫兹(THz)量子级联激光器为光源、低温热辐射计为信号接收端, 采用可旋转和平移的二维扫描平台搭建反射式快速扫描成像系统。通过计算机控制扫描平台进行连续的旋转与平移运动, 实时获取探测信号强度和样品位置信息, 成功实现对直径为80 mm圆形区域的快速扫描成像, 扫描时间为5 s, 图像的平均空间分辨率约为1 mm, 系统成像时间大幅缩短。此外, 成像装置中基于THz分束片的共光路设计, 可有效减少系统光路元件, 进一步缩小成像系统的体积。
Abstract
A fast reflective scanning imaging system is constructed by employing the terahertz (THz) quantum-cascade laser as the light source and the low-temperature bolometer as the signal receiver. A rotational and translational platform is used in this imaging system to realize fast scanning. The fast imaging process of a circle area with a diameter of 80 mm is demonstrated by a computer controlling the scanning platform to carry out the rotational and translational motion. The signal intensity and the related 2D sample position are acquired simultaneously. By the imaging system, the scanning time is 5 s and the spatial resolution of the obtained image is 1 mm, which greatly shortens the imaging time. Furthermore, the optical components are reduced effectively by the co-optical path design based on THz beam splitters, which reduces the size of the THz imaging system.
