Abstract
As engineers and scientists, we use a variety of techniques to concisely represent information. The ubiquitous equations and plots found in the pages of this journal demonstrate this well; however, nothing rivals the power of an image to convey information. As a result, in our relentless pursuit to explore and exploit the information available in all parts of the electromagnetic spectrum, imaging is often the end goal for the systems we develop. Terahertz and millimeter wavelengths have been no exception to this pursuit, and since we first began sensing at these wavelengths, we have constantly developed and improved systems for forming images.
