Terahertz bistatic three-dimensional computational imaging of hidden objects through random media

Abstract Random media pose limitations on the imaging capability of photoelectric detection devices. Currently, imaging techniques employed through random media primarily operate within the laser wavelength range, leaving the imaging potential of terahertz waves unexplored. In this study, we present...

description Abstract Random media pose limitations on the imaging capability of photoelectric detection devices. Currently, imaging techniques employed through random media primarily operate within the laser wavelength range, leaving the imaging potential of terahertz waves unexplored. In this study, we present an approach for terahertz bistatic three-dimensional imaging (TBTCI) of hidden objects through random media. By deducing the field distribution of bistatic terahertz time-domain spectroscopy system, and proposing an explicit point spread function of the random media, we conducted three-dimensional imaging of hidden objects obscured by the random media. Our proposed method exhibits promising applications in imaging scenarios with millimeter-wave radar, including non-invasive testing and biological imaging.
