Abstract: We report our development of terahertz (THz) quantum-cascade lasers with record performance. Using those high-power lasers as the illumination sources and a focal-plane array camera, we are able to perform real-time THz imaging at video rate.

Keywords: Terahertz, Quantum-cascade lasers, Imaging.
