摘要

Continuous-Wave Terahertz (CW-THz) phase and amplitude imaging provides valuable insights into the interaction between THz waves and matter, particularly in low-absorption materials. This information is also essential for enhancing CW-THz beam profiling, a critical aspect in the design of free-space THz devices. Hereby, we introduce a single-pixel THz amplitude and phase imaging technique based on frequency scanning and fringe analysis, incorporated into a straightforward experimental setup. We validate the usefulness of the proposed approach by demonstrating two representative case studies. The first is a 3-D measurement of the amplitude and phase profile of a THz wave that is transmitted through a 3-D printed metalens. The second is beam profiling of a THz beam emitted from a photomixer antenna. In both cases, our results are in excellent agreement with previous predictions and validate the usefulness of this imaging technique. As such, we believe that the demonstrated approach will provide an important tool in the quest for establishing THz as an important method for a myriad of applications, including imaging, range finding and metrology.
