Vol. 5 No.3/ Mar. 2011 连续波THz成像在钞票鉴伪中的应用研究 Application of continuous-wave THz imaging in banknote discrimination Jun Yang, Xiao-jing Gong, Yan-dong Zhang, Lei Jin 摘 要 THz光波对纸币有很好的穿透能力，从纸币防伪特征部位透射的THz波加载了防伪特征的信号。本文利用光泵连续 波THz激光器（OPTL, Sifir-50, Coherent）及热释电相机（PyrocamIII），对连续波THz成像在钞票鉴伪中的应用做了实验 研究。得到了水印和安全线的实时THz图像，并将真假钞票的防伪特征的THz图像进行了比对：真币的THz图像清晰稳定， 而假币的图像模糊不清。研究表明：将待测测纸币的THz图像与真币的标准相比对就可以快速准确地鉴别出钞票的真伪。虽 然这只是初步的实验结果，但是THz技术提供了一种新型的钞票鉴伪方法。 关键词 太赫兹；钞票鉴伪；CW太赫兹成像 ABSTRACT　When THz light propagates through a banknote of RMB, which is transparent for THz radiation, the transmitted THz radiation carries signals of security features. In this letter, experimental researches on banknote discrimination by continuous-wave THz imaging are demonstrated by using of an optically-pumped THz laser (OPTL, Sifir-50, Coherent) and a pyroelectric camera (PyrocamIII). Real-time THz images of water-mark and security thread are achieved and comparison of real and fake security features is shown. THz images of genuine notes are clear and stable, while that of forged notes are confused and random. Results show that the authenticity of the tested banknote can be reliably determined by comparing its THz imaging with that of genuine banknotes. This research is only the first step in demonstrating the feasibility of banknote discrimination by THz imaging, however, THz technology provides a novel method of banknote discrimination.
