Abstract | In this paper, we report our use of a hardware encoder-based synchronization method for a fast terahertz time-domain spectroscopy raster scanner built with the commercially available TeraFlash Smart platform. We describe the principles of our method, including our incorporation of synchronization signals from various devices included in the scanner. We also describe its implementation in a microcontroller with a dedicated counter. By such means, a fast scanning mode was obtained, which was 35 times faster than a traditional step-by-step approach. To validate the proposed synchronization method, we carried out measurements using the USAF 1951 resolution test and a fiberglass plate with a set of intentionally introduced defects. Our results confirmed that the TDS scanner with the developed synchronization method was able to capture high-quality images with resolutions as high as those obtained using traditional step-by-step scanning, but with significantly reduced scanning times. |
