Problems solved by technology

First, in the signal collected in the far field, the part containing near-field information is usually very small, and most of them are useless background scattering signals, so the signal-to-noise ratio is very low; second, the accuracy of the optical system is very demanding. High, fine adjustment of the stage with nanometer resolution is required, if there is a slight deviation, the signal strength and signal-to-noise ratio will be significantly reduced

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of terahertz imaging, in particular to a terahertz near-field imaging system and method. Background technique [0002] Terahertz (THz) waves usually refer to electromagnetic waves with a frequency of 100 GHz to 10 THz and a wavelength of 30 to 3000 μm. Biological and semiconductor materials are prone to resonant optical properties. These characteristics make terahertz near-field imaging technology widely used in security inspection, chemical identification, medical imaging, quality control and other fields. In recent years, with the gradual maturity of technologies such as signal sources and detection methods in the terahertz frequency band, near-field high-resolution imaging technology in the terahertz frequency band has gradually developed. [0003] In the prior art, the scanning near-field optical microscope used in the terahertz frequency band is a scattering scanning near-field optical microscope, which mainly u...
