为了改进传统叠层成像系统探测距离较近，探针波束难以被有效利用的缺点，提出了基于聚焦高斯波束的太赫兹叠层成像实验系统。基于叠层成像原理，使用角谱传输理论，用聚焦的高斯波束替代传统小孔产生的衍射波束，通过计算机仿真实验验证这种替代的可行性，完成了相应的成像实验。结果表明，在0.1 THz波段采用聚焦的高斯波束进行太赫兹叠层成像是可行的，仿真与实验结果证明了此系统的可行性。在探测距离为50 mm的条件下，理论深度分辨率达到了λ/4，实验系统深度的分辨率为λ/2，充分说明了这种叠层成像系统的有效性。

为了实现低频段太赫兹高斯波束整形为大尺寸平顶波束，提出了一种利用双相位板结构设计大尺寸平顶波束整形系统的方法。基于Input-Output算法，利用角谱理论计算系统参数，同时对所设计系统进行了数值仿真并搭建了实验系统，验证了出射光场的横向强度分布是否符合预期。结果表明，所设计的双相位板整形系统能够成功将0.1 THz高斯波束转换为百毫米尺寸的平顶波束，仿真结果与理论较为接近，证明了设计系统的合理性。实验中波束直径达到228 mm，虽存在部分能量泄漏，但是平坦程度很好，相对均方根甚至优于理论和仿真结果，可达89%以上，充分说明了设计方法的有效性。

Previous research shows that few-cycle laser (FCL) pulses with low energy and without a bias field can be used to coherently detect terahertz (THz) pulses. As we know, it is very difficult to stabilize the carrier envelope phase (CEP) of FCL pulses, i.e., there are some random fluctuations for the CEP. Here we theoretically investigate the influence of such instability on the accuracy of THz detection. Our results show that although there is an optimum CEP for THz detection, the fluctuations of the CEP will lead to terrible thorns on the detected THz waveform. In order to solve this problem, we propose an approach using two few-cycle laser pulses with opposite CEPs, i.e., their CEPs are differed by π.

We present a new compact radar system to measure a terahertz radar cross section (RCS) of metal plates, trihedral corner reflectors, and an aircraft scaled model with a 0.1 THz continuous wave. We both numerically and experimentally investigate the terahertz RCS of the metal plates and trihedral corner reflectors. The numerical simulations are obtained by using commercial software, i.e., computer simulation technology, which agree well with the experimental results. Then, the RCS of an aircraft scaled model is measured, and the experimental results are in good agreement with the physical characteristics of the scaled model. The effectiveness of our compact radar system is verified to get the RCS of complex targets, such as the scaled models of the tactical targets.
