Terahertz applications in the aerospace industry

2013
Aerospace applications for terahertz (THz) imaging will be examined in this chapter. The outer skin of the aircraft consists of thin (~ millimeter) sheets of fiber composites that are bonded to honeycombed composites for structural support. During the manufacturing process, quality-assurance inspections could be performed on these thin sheets using a ...
