Terahertz imaging: applications and perspectives

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Terahertz (THz) spectroscopy, and especially THz imaging, holds large potential in the field of non destructive, contact-free testing. The ongoing advances in the development of THz systems, as well as the appearance of the first related commercial products, indicate that large-scale market introduction of THz systems is rapidly approaching. We review selected industrial applications for THz systems, comprising inline monitoring of compounding processes, plastic weld joint inspection, birefringence analysis of fiber-reinforced components, water distribution monitoring in polymers and plants, as well as quality inspection of food products employing both continuous wave and pulsed THz systems.
