Abstract :
Both 640×480 and 320×240 terahertz (THz) imagers were developed whose sensitivity were improved in sub-THz region by a factor of 10. The imagers include functions such as external-trigger imaging, lock-in imaging, beam profiling and so forth. The function of the external-trigger imaging was verified, using the pulsed THz free electron laser developed by Osaka University.
