Abstract :
We demonstrated fast 3D terahertz computed tomography by using real-time line projection of an intense terahertz beam. Peak-to-peak amplitude of the pulsed terahertz electric field and a standard reconstruction algorithm were used to performed final 3D reconstruction of test samples with a total acquisition time to only 6 minutes.
