摘要
Results are presented for the first imaging system that combines the high power of terahertz quantum cascade lasers with three- dimensional image reconstruction based on filtered back- projection. Images of various phantoms have been successfully reconstructed revealing both their external and internal structures. (c) 2006 Optical Society of America.
