Video-rate THz imaging using a microbolometer-based camera

A THz 160×120 pixel array camera has been developed at INO. Real-time transmission and reflectance imaging at video rates of 30 frames/s were performed with a low-power 3 THz quantum cascade laser. Various hidden objects were imaged, proving feasibility of real-time THz imaging for security screening applications.
