Andimaging systemsbased on array detectors which have real time imaging capability have attractedlots of research interests. It is essential toreduce power losses during the system design. Owing tothe low energy losses and design convenienceit brings, off-axis parabolicmirrors havebeen frequently usedin many THzimaging systems. A 2 THz array imaging system comprised of off-axis parabolic mirrors is analyzed using an optical design software ZEMAX. The deterioration of the image quality caused by the misalignment of of-f axis parabolic mirror in the receiving part is investigated. The simulation results show that the image resolution can reach 0.5 mm for the ideal case, andthe grid distortion is 0.069% . The system hasa tolerance of 1. 1for the misalignment angleoftheof-f axis parabolicmirror. The tolerance for the decenter error is 6. 5 mm.
