Abstract
Most state-of-the-art terahertz time-domain imaging technologies are based on single-pixel systems, which mechanically scan either the imaging object or the terahertz system, limiting the imaging speed. We present a new terahertz time-domain imaging modality using a terahertz photoconductive focal-plane array. The focal-plane array consists of plasmonic nano-antenna arrays on an LT-GaAs substrate. The dynamic range of a single pixel can reach up to 75 dB with more than a 4 THz bandwidth. We demonstrate clear terahertz images up to 2.5 THz. We also demonstrate that the focal-plane array can operate at video-rate imaging speeds.
