We propose a method for high-speed terahertz spectroscopic imaging that is based on electro-optic sampling with a noncollinear geometry of the THz beam and probe laser beam and has a multistep mirror in the path of the probe beam. We made an imaging system that operates in the over 2.0-THz range and enables the sample region corresponding to a (28 × 28)-pixel area on the sensor to be imaged with a spatial resolution of 1.07 mm and a frequency resolution of 0.079 THz. We also show how the proposed method might be extended for faster THz spectroscopic imaging.

We have been developing an intellectual manufacturing process applying IT (V-Cam system fabrication processes) based on Volume-CAD (VCAD) system which can express internal information of materials. This paper introduces the ultra-precision grinding, ray tracing (optical path) simulation software ‘V-Opt’ and the measurement of actual optical functions in the development of optical element taking gradient refractive index (GRIN) lens with functionally graded material properties as a model. In finish ground GRIN lens using SD#8000 wheel, the P-V (Peek to Value) of 27.07 nm, surface roughness (Ra) of 1.83 nm is obtained. ‘V-Opt’ developed for GRIN lens have two main functions; one is the visualizations of ray tracing and the other is the evaluation of spot diagram and focal length.
