Abstract

We introduce a superresolution resolution THz imaging technique which uses the THz radiation generated by a femtosecond laser filament in air as the probe, based on the fact that the femtosecond laser filament forms a waveguide for the THz wave in air. The diameter of the THz beam, which propagates inside the filament, varies from 20 µm to 50 µm, which is significantly smaller than the wavelength of the THz wave. Using this highly spatially confined THz beam as the probe, THz imaging with resolution as high as 20 µm (~λ/38 at 0.4 THz) is promising.
