ABSTRACT:
A system and method for THz imaging utilizing a single THz detector that detects an image of a large area and provides good spatial details (high resolution). In one aspect, the system can individually modulate a different pixel of an image. The system could be a series of masks. Each mask may include holes that may be turned on/off with a distinct pattern from all of the other holes. Once the data for each mask has been received, the data for each hole may be extracted according to its modulation pattern. Another modulation system may include a micro-mirror array that deflects the THz signal towards or away from the THz detector.
