TERAHERTZ IMAGING IN REFLECTION AND TRANSMISSION MODE FOR LUGGAGE AND PERSONNEL INSPECTION

摘要

A system to detect contraband article, like explosives or chemical weapons in packages, laggage or clothing includes one or more terahertz modules. Each module either generates or receives, or both generates and receives, terahertz radiation. Some of the terahertz radiation is reflected from the article and the remainder of the terahertz radiation is transmitted through the article. A processor analyzes the reflected and transmitted terahertz radiation to characterize the article.
