Abstract: A reflection type of imaging system is shown at sub-terahertz frequencies generated from high-Tcsuperconducting intrinsic Josephson junction mesa structures fabricated by single crystalline Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+δ to demonstrate how the sub-terahertz imaging technique using monochromatic radiation is powerful and unique for the variety of practical applications. Several examples are discussed in detail and are compared to other terahertz imaging systems. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
