Abstract

The ability of terahertz (THz) radiation to perform noninvasive investigations together with recent technological advances regarding the development of stable, flexible, and portable devices are motivating a widespread use of THz technology in the framework of cultural heritage. To provide practical examples of the potentialities offered by this emerging diagnostic tool, three case studies concerning the use of THz-pulsed TDI systems are briefly summarized here.
