Recent Advance of CO2-pumped THz Imaging

CO2 laser-pumped THz laser is considered as the ideal THz radiation source which is easy to be promoted and applied widely. In order to study the characteristics and the future development direction of terahertz two-dimensional imaging methods based on CO2 laser-pumped far-infrared laser source, this paper introduces the basic principle of CO2 laser-pumped far-infrared laser source and two typical lasers: SIFIR-50FPL and FIRL100 made in USA and England. This paper also focuses on the domestic and international research results of imaging in recent years and gives a brief comment on their imaging characteristics. Finally it concluded that he long-distance three-dimensional image THz radar, the real-time imaging FPA detection and the real-time image processing and automatic target recognition system are the development trends of the research on CO2 laser-pumped terahertz imaging.
