Abstract :
We have constructed a pulsed THz imaging system based on the triangulation method aiming at THz imaging of large objects, that is, objects too large to fit on an optical table. The distance between THz components and sample may vary, it is currently set to 1 m. We have measured a variety of samples in order to determine and optimize the optical properties of the instrument.
