THz wave (THz ripple) refers to the electromagnetic wave (1THz=10 of frequency in the 0.1-10THz scope 12Hz), its wave band is in electromagnetic wave spectrum between millimeter wave and the far red light.In recent years, along with the THz wave photoelectron technology develops rapidly, THz wave imaging technique aspect makes rapid progress.At present, the most common THz wave imaging technique is pulse THz wave time-domain spectroscopy imaging technique.It just can acquire the space distribution information of its intensity and phase place by the Fourier transform to the THz wave time domain pulse that contains imaging object information, and then the THz wave image of object, also can obtain the information such as Spatial Density Distribution, refractive index of object.Yet this THz wave imaging system light channel structure is comparatively complicated, and too much optical element causes its stability of layout relatively poor, and complicated data handling procedure causes image acquisition procedures not directly perceived.
Another kind of common THz wave imaging technique is continuous THz wave imaging technique.This THz wave imaging system is embodied as picture by the strength information that the record THz wave sees through behind the object (or through object reflection), therefore compare with the time-domain spectroscopy imaging system, comparatively simple, rapid on image-forming data acquisition and processing mode, the imaging system structure is also relatively simple.The major defect of this imaging technique is that amount of image information is few, and coherence stack can occur the Multi reflection of THz wave in light path in experiment, causes may having interference fringe in the image.
In above-mentioned two kinds of THz wave imaging techniques, also all have the following disadvantages:
(1) when the THz wave of carrying imaging object information is transmitted in the space, be easy to be subject to the random disturbance of external environment, such as Air Flow, humidity variation, flue dust etc., imaging effect will inevitably be affected, antijamming capability is relatively poor, and this has just limited these practical application of THz wave imaging technique in rugged surroundings.
(2) common employed terahertz radiation source in the THz wave imaging technique, such as based on the pulse Terahertz wave source of femto-second laser, carcinotron, optical pumping THz wave laser instrument etc., what have is expensive, operation and maintenance cost is high, the volume that has is large, complicated operation, job stability remains further to be improved, and has limited its practical sexual development.
Summary of the invention
Defective or deficiency for above-mentioned prior art exists the object of the invention is to, and a kind of simple in structure, imaging device based on the pseudo-thermal light source of THz wave that antijamming capability is strong is provided.
In order to realize above-mentioned task, the present invention adopts following technical solution:
A kind of imaging device based on the pseudo-thermal light source of THz wave, it is characterized in that, comprise terahertz-wave parametric oscillator, the THz wave condenser lens, the hair side silicon chip of rotation, THz wave collimation lens, THz wave beam splitter, Terahertz reflected light path system and Terahertz transmitted light path system, and coincidence measurement device; Wherein:
Described hair side silicon chip places near the focus of THz wave condenser lens, and the hair side silicon chip is the focal length of THz wave collimation lens to the distance of THz wave collimation lens;
Described Terahertz transmitted light path system is by object to be imaged, the THz wave collecting lens, and the first Terahertz attenuator and the first schottky barrier photodiode form; Wherein, the first schottky barrier photodiode places on the focus of THz wave collecting lens; The first Terahertz attenuator places between THz wave collecting lens and the first schottky barrier photodiode;

Imaging device based on the pseudo-thermal light source of THz wave of the present invention, have flexible operation, simple in structure, the advantage such as antijamming capability is strong, can be widely used in the fields such as military surveillance, remote sensing, biomedical imaging, safety and anti-terrorism, Multifunction Sensor, application prospect is huge.Compare with existing common THz wave imaging technique, have the following advantages:
1, in this THz imaging technology, object to be imaged is positioned in the Terahertz transmitted light path, the THz wave of carrying object image-forming information is all received by a point probe fixing, that do not do spatial discrimination, and the point probe in the Terahertz reflected light path is done the aerial image flat scanning, serves as the measurement of spatial resolution task.Like this, just realized separating of object and imaging detector.That is to say, even carry in the Terahertz transmitted light path after the light field of imaging object information is subject to the random disturbance of external environment, still can in the Terahertz reflected light path, obtain clearly as.Therefore, this THz imaging technology can significantly improve antijamming capability and the imaging dirigibility of terahertz imaging system;
2, in this imaging technique based on the pseudo-thermal light source of THz wave, therefore lower to the sensitivity requirement of terahertz detector because its image-forming principle is based on the principle of intensity fluctuation association, select the schottky barrier photodiode of terahertz wave band to get final product.
3, terahertz radiation source is terahertz-wave parametric oscillator, but it have volume little, simple and compact for structure, with low cost, be easy to safeguard the room temperature running, and can produce that the coherence is good, good directionality, linear polarization, narrow linewidth, linear polarization, high-octane pulse terahertz radiation.
