Abstract
In this paper, a terahertz axicon (n=1. 55) with a base angle of 10 degrees is designed, introduced into a Terahertz Time domain spectroscopy(THz-TDS) (0. 1-1THz), and a transmission beam scanning experiment is built. At each waveform of the raster scan of each section, the spectrum is calculated using a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) to obtain the beam cross section for each frequency. The measured central beam width at different frequencies varies between 7mm and 2. 5mm, and the distance between the measurement plane and the tip of the axicon is 80mm; by numerically processing the information of each plane, the beam reconstruction results at different frequencies can be obtained. From the analysis results, it can be seen that the THz-TDS can generate non-diffracting beams with depth of field exceeding 160mm via an axicon with a base angle of 10 degrees, the central spot width does not exceed 7 mm, and there are almost no side lobes. The results show that the Bessel beam can provide a significant depth of field expansion capability for the THz-TDS, which will have a positive impact on the non-destructive testing of samples with large thickness and uncertain defect locations.
