Abstract :
A custom-built deconvolution technique for pulsed terahertz imaging is presented in this paper. It is examined as a tool for the measurement of thin transparent films. The power of the technique is illustrated by using the impulse response function, calculated in the deconvolution process, to recreate terahertz images of both sides of a piece of paper derived from one single terahertz reflection measurement.
