Abstract :
We propose a real-time, line-field THz-TDS imaging system based on electro-optical time-to-space conversion and line focusing of a THz beam. The proposed system functions as a color scanner in the terahertz spectral region with fast line-scanning and has been successfully used to image moving objects.
