Comparison between pulsed terahertz time-domain imaging and continuous wave terahertz imaging

Abstract: We report an evaluation of pulsed terahertz (THz) time-domain measurement and continuous wave (CW) terahertz measurement for non-destructive testing applications. The strengths and limitations of the modalities are explored via the example of the detection of defects in space shuttle foam insulation. It is decided that CW imaging allows for a more compact and simple system, while pulsed measurements yield a broader range of information.

“…There are two main type of THz instruments and the use of each one depends on the specific goals of the examination [46], Figure 2. Time-domain based spectrometers (TDS) use short pulses (few picoseconds) to create an instantaneous wide frequency spectrum covering usually up to 3 THz.…”

“…This significantly simplifies the hardware implementation. In comparison to the use of a pulsed technique [9], the Indirect Microwave Holographic Imaging approach uses continuous wave (CW) signals which reduces its cost by a factor of up to six [15]. Central to this technique is the use of a Synthesised Reference Beam developed and patented at Northumbria University [16].…”
