Real-time nondestructive imaging with THz waves

Abstract

The aim of this report is to present potential interest of a new technology of sensor for measuring terahertz radiation at room temperature and its application in imaging systems as a volumetric, safe, contact free and real-time Non-Destructive Testing systems. These imaging systems could be easily integrated in industrial facilities allowing the detection of surface, subsurface and in-depth defects for a large variety of materials with high precision and sensitivity.
