Paper Abstract
Since every matter has its distinctive absorption and transmission capacity of terahertz, Terahertz time
domain spectroscopy provides a powerful means to distinguish the different parts of objects. The
transmittance of terahertz under different frequency can reflect the absorption distribution of the
different parts of the samples. The phase shift of the terahertz wave indicates the change of optical
thickness of the sample. Tree leaves, plastic ring, plastic convex lens and plastic piece with a small
hole have been imaged by terahertz. As widespread samples, leaves are proved to be well imaged by
terahertz wave. For the moisture content at different parts of leaves, such as mesophyll and vein, is
not the same, the absorption of terahertz at these parts are quite different. At 1.4THz, the leaf's image
is of good quality and the vein grids are well shown. The hole and defects in the plastic ring are also
clearly shown in the THz image because the phase shifts of terahertz in different parts, such as air,
defects or plastic region are not the same. It is also shown that objects with large radius of curvature
are suitable for THz imagining and the scattering of THz does not affect THz phase information too
much. In short, Terahertz imaging is a powerful technique to distinguish the different parts of most
objects as long as the absorption of THz is not very strong.
