摘要
For decades, terahertz (THz) microscopic imaging has been limited by the resolution of the system due to the larger wavelength, the power of the source, and the equivalent noise power of the detector, so a lot of research has focused on single-point scanning imaging. With the development of hardware, full-field THz imaging based on high-power continuous-wave THz sources have been developed such as the direct intensity imaging method and lensless coherent imaging. In particular, the THz direct intensity imaging method requires no complicated computational reconstruction, while the high resolution, as a key issue, still needs to be improved. In this paper, the rotating coherent scattering microscopy was applied to THz imaging for the first time. Here, we designed and fabricated a hemisphere lens with high-resistance silicon. The tilted hemisphere lens transformed the incident divergent beam into a plane wave, and the total internal reflection occurred in the planar surface within the hemispherical lens, and generated evanescent waves in the rare medium. At the same time, the sample was placed very close to the plane of the hemispherical lens, so that the sample was illuminated by the evanescent waves. The scattered waves carried high frequency information to the far field, and thus through an objective, the super-resolution imaging was achieved along a single direction. Then, the hemispherical lens was rotated to obtain coherent scattering microscopic images under different evanescent wave illumination angles. Finally, the full-field super-resolution imaging results were obtained through incoherent superposition.
