In the case of the PED, the resolution gradually degraded with increasing stage speed. When the images were acquired using the MEMS bolometer with a stage speed of 25 mm/s, fine structures of a metal bookmark were clearly observed and no degradation in the resolution was observed with changing stage speed. For the PED, there was a decrease in the peak intensity and delay in the peak positions with increasing stage speed due to the insufficient response speed. In the measurement of the response characteristics using a 100-μm pinhole, the peak intensity was almost constant against the stage speed in the case of the MEMS bolometer. ![]() The frequency shifts in the resonant peak due to the irradiation of the THz waves were tracked using the phase-locked loop system built in the lock-in amplifier. The MEMS bolometer had a beam resonator with a resonant peak of 422 kHz, and it was operated in the frequency modulation detection mode. The scanning process of the imaging system consisted of continuous scans in the X direction and step scans in the Z direction. The imaging system was an active imaging composed of the MEMS bolometer, THz quantum cascade laser, and two-dimensional translation stage. The impact of the response speed of a microelectromechanical system (MEMS) bolometer on the quality of terahertz (THz) imaging with rapid scan has been investigated and compared with a pyroelectric detector (PED). ![]()
