We have developed flexible terahertz (THz) and infrared (IR) imager sheets based on carbon nanotube films with broadband optical absorption properties. We report on multi-view THz and IR visualization, which have enabled omni-directional analysis for various forms of objects. As industrial applications of the imagers, we have demonstrated nondestructive detection of impurities concealed inside coating and non-sampling and label-free chemical monitoring.
