Original Abstract Submitted
An imaging apparatus includes an emitter that emits a sub-terahertz wave to a person, a detection device, and a phase modulator. The detection device includes: an optical system that images a reflected wave which is the sub-terahertz wave emitted from the emitter and reflected by the person; and a plurality of pixels that are disposed in a planar arrangement and each receive the reflected wave imaged by the optical system, and generates an image, based on the reflected wave received by each of the plurality of pixels. The phase modulator changes an angular distribution of a phase of the reflected wave to be received by the plurality of pixels in the detection device during an exposure period in which the detection device generates the image.
