Abstract

Abstract : Continuous‐wave terahertz reflection imaging is a potential tool for biological tissues. Based on our home‐made continuouswave terahertz reflection imaging system, the effect of both polarization mode and reflection window on the imaging performance is studied theoretically and experimentally, showing good agreement. By taking obtaining sample information and image contrast into consideration, p‐polarized terahertz waves are recommended. Moreover, considering the sample boundary identification and the image contrast, selection criteria for reflection window are proposed. This work will help to improve the performance of continuous‐wave terahertz reflection imaging and accelerate the THz imaging in biological application. Further details can be found in the article by Limin Wu, Yuye Wang, Haibin Li, Zelong Wang, Meilan Ge, Degang Xu, and Jianquan Yao (e202100245 ).
