  • Abstract
    This paper is a presentation of the on going research at OLIMPES laboratory in the field of active imaging using THz Quantum Cascade Lasers applied to composite materials diagnostic. We have performed transmission measurements on various types of materials, most of them used in aeronautical engineering. We present some transmission mode images realized to investigate the possibility to use THz imaging in nondestructive material diagnostic.
