Abstract
The portability of a terahertz imaging system is crucial for practical applications because most of the measured objects are generally fixed and cannot be moved from their locations. We have developed a portable imaging system using a terahertz quantum cascade laser and a microbolometer focal plane array. We also obtained a direct image of the focused beam of the laser.
