Stratified dispersive model for material characterization using terahertz time-domain spectroscopy

Materials Science 2014-07-08 v1 Optics

Abstract

We propose a novel THz material analysis approach which provides highly accurate material parameters and can be used for industrial quality control. The method treats the inspected material within its environment locally as a stratified system and describes the light-matter interaction of each layer in a realistic way. The approach is illustrated in the time-domain and frequency-domain for two potential fields of implementation of THz technology: quality control of (coated) paper sheets and car paint multilayers, both measured in humid air.
