Abstract
This Chapter covers a survey of terahertz (THz) imaging stretching from hardware to applications. In the hardware section, we describe two THz-imaging setups, one of them based on photoconductive antennas and mechanical scanning, the other one offering real-time imaging with electro-optic sampling and a CCD camera. We go into details of some aspects of THz-imaging data processing and image interpretation. The application sections concentrate on the characterization of semiconductors and superconductors and the study of powders with a particular focus on real-time applications.
