Abstract
Imaging with terahertz (THz) waves offers the
capability of seeing through traditionally opaque materials, with
maintaining a spatial resolution comparable to that of the naked
eye. The use of ultrashort THz pulses allow for depth resolved
imaging by time-of-flight analysis of reflected signals from a
target. Therefore, THz imaging has proven its versatility as a
new imaging technology for inspection and analysis of historical
as well as contemporary art, offering detailed information about
the internal structure of such objects, complementary to
information available by other methods such as x-ray
radiography and infrared imaging. Here we present
comprehensive, fully depth-resolved imaging and analysis of a
historical wall painting, an easel painting and a gilded panel.
