TERA HERTZ SENSOR AND IMAGING APPARTUS INCLUDING THE SAME

摘要

An imaging apparatus including a terahertz sensor is provided. The imaging apparatus comprises: an irradiation unit irradiating terahertz waves to an object; a terahertz sensor comprising sensing elements arranged in a form of a line and which generate electrical signals by detecting terahertz waves emitted by the object; and a control unit generating images from the electrical signals generated from the terahertz sensor. The tetrahertz sensor comprises: a first line detection unit composed of a plurality of sensing elements spaced at equal intervals and n line detection units respectively composed of additional sensing elements arranged in each of the positions where equal intervals between the sensing elements adjacent to the first line detection unit are divided by n.
