As an imTerahertz (THz) radiation, due to its unique propagation characters of low-energy, high-penetration, water-absorption, provides internal structure of objects and comprehensive biological information in phase contrast imaging. It has been applied in biomedical imaging, non-destructive testing, and other fields. As an important part of THz imaging technology, continuous-wave (CW) THz digital holography (TDH) is qualified as a non-invasive and whole-field phase contrast imaging method. In this paper, we review the development and status of off-axis and in-line TDH, including the recording and reconstruction theory, experimental setup, and reconstruction algorithms. The influence of existing THz sources and the reconstruction algorithms on resolution and fidelity of imaging are analyzed. And the development trend of TDH is prospected in the end..

Recently, a high-resoTerahertz (THz) imaging technology has shown great advantages and potential applications in the fields of biomedicine, security, and aerospace, due to its low energy, high transmittance, wide bandwidth, and unique analysis abilities; while low spatial resolution restricts its further applications. Recently, a high-resolution, high-throughput, and broad-bandwidth THz imaging method has been proposed based on the terajet effect produced by dielectric structures with appropriate refractive index. The terajet beam can break through the restriction of the diffraction limit on the spatial resolution of the microscopic system without losing the energy and spectral bandwidth of the THz field. In this paper, firstly, a white-light nanoscopy based on photonic nanojet produced by microspheres is introduced, then the THz microscopy based on terajet effect produced by mesoscopic dielectric structures is reviewed. Finally, the prospect of THz high resolution imaging technology based on terajet effect is prospected..

Liu Xingbo, Wang Qiu, Xu Quan, Zhang Xueqian, Xu Yuehong, Zhang Weili, and Han Jiaguang
Holography is a kind of technique enabling 3D imaging which has been applied in many practical fields. With the rapid development of computer science and technology, computer generated holography (CGH) has become a common holography design method due to its high convenience and flexibility. Herein, we present a review Holography is a kind of technique enabling 3D imaging which has been applied in many practical fields. With the rapid development of computer science and technology, computer generated holography (CGH) has become a common holography design method due to its high convenience and flexibility. Herein, we present a review of our recent progress in metasurface-based terahertz CGH. In these demonstrations, the metasurfaces acting as the holograms have shown the novel capabilities beyond the conventional counterparts. We first present a meta-hologram with simultaneous and independent phase and amplitude control over each pixel, which enables high-quality holographic imaging. Such new characteristic also predicts new holographic imaging performances including holographic images transforming continuously along the propagation direction realized by dielectric metasurface. Then different responses under different incident polarization states are designed. A linear polarization and frequency multiplexed meta-hologram, a reflective circular polarization multiplexed meta-hologram, and a surface-wave-based polarization multiplexed meta-hologram have been achieved respectively. Furthermore, a thermally dependent dynamic meta-hologram which can change the holographic image actively is also given. The proposed method paves a novel way to the design and realization of CGH functional devices in the future and contributes to the development of metasurfaces towards practical applications..

In this review, we presented a brief introduction on the terahertz medical imaging systems, and the applications of terahertz medical imaging in biological tissues from in vitro to in vivo. Terahertz wave can be strongly absorbed by water, then the terahertz imaging contrast will be severely deteriorated in vivo. So the terahertz medical imaging was mainly used for detecting epidermal tissues or biological tissues with pretreatments, including excision, dehydration and so on. This review also concluded the recent development of nanoparticle contrast agents for improving the contrast of terahertz imaging in vivo. Finally, the future development of terahertz medical imaging was predicted..

Therefore, it is ideal for the applications such as non-destructive testing and biomedical imaging. The imaging system based on THz quantum well photodetectors (THz QWPs) has higher imaging resolution, faster imaging speed, higher signal-to-noise ratio, and more compact structure than the imaging systems based on other detectors, as the THz QWPs have fast response, high responsivity, low noise equivalent power, and tiny size. This paper reviews the research progress of the imaging technology based on THz QWPs. And the factors affecting the core indicators of the imaging system are analyzed and summarized. Using more stable fixtures to mount the THz QWPs, improving the device response speed, detection sensitivity, array size, can improve the key performance of imaging systems effectively..

Second, the mathematical principles of the computational ghost imaging were described in details. Then, we reviewed the development history of computational ghost imaging within THz regime, and its applications including sub-diffraction imaging, photoconductivity mapping of graphene, and hyperspectral THz imaging. At last, we looked towards the prospects of THz wave ghost imaging: as an imaging scheme, ghost imaging avoids the problem that economic and efficient focal-plane-array detectors within THz regime are lacking, whose present frame rates, however, are too slow to meet the requirement for fast imaging. With the improvement of devices’ performance and the optimization of imaging algorithms, we believe that the frame rate of THz wave computational ghost imaging can be significantly enhanced in the future..
