Resolution enhancement in terahertz imaging with multi-wavelength information

Thanks to the unique characteristics of terahertz waves, terahertz imaging has become one of the promising imaging technologies. However, due to the weak signal source and strong diffraction of terahertz waves, terahertz imaging has a significant amount of noise, which makes it is challenge to achieve satisfactory clarity in images. In this work, we propose an algorithm that uses multi-wavelength information to improve the resolution of terahertz imaging. The resolvability of the images has been improved by at least 1.4 times, and the noise has been effectively filtered out. This algorithm enhances the image resolution without requiring any hardware upgrades, benefiting the terahertz imaging system with multi-wavelength imaging capabilities.

Abstract

Thanks to the unique characteristics of terahertz waves, terahertz imaging has become one of the promising imaging technologies. However, due to the weak signal source and strong diffraction of terahertz waves, terahertz imaging has a significant amount of noise, which makes it is challenge to achieve satisfactory clarity in images. In this work, we propose an algorithm that uses multi-wavelength information to improve the resolution of terahertz imaging. The resolvability of the images has been improved by at least 1.4 times, and the noise has been effectively filtered out. This algorithm enhances the image resolution without requiring any hardware upgrades, benefiting the terahertz imaging system with multi-wavelength imaging capabilities.
