Paper Abstract

Time-resolved THz imaging for the incidence-angle dependent 3D tomographic characterization of layered structures is presented. We illustrate the capabilities of the developed system on multi-layer ceramic samples used for solid oxide fuel cells. Diverse methods for determining unknown refractive indices are discussed. The significant influence of the angle of incidence of a THz imaging system on the measured signal is demonstrated, which can be exploited especially in Brewster-angle configurations to enhance the capabilities of any THz tomography system.
