Investigation of aqueous alcohol and sugar solutions with reflection terahertz time-domain spectroscopy.

چکیده
We give a detailed analysis of a general realization of reflection terahertz time-domain spectroscopy. The method is self-referenced and applicable at all incidence angles and for all polarizations of the incident terahertz radiation. Hence it is a general method for the determination of the dielectric properties of especially liquids in environments where transmission measurements are difficult. We investigate the dielectric properties in the 0.1-1.0 THz frequency range of liquids using reflection terahertz time-domain spectroscopy. We apply the technique for the determination of alcohol and sugar concentration of commercial alcoholic beverages and liquors. The special geometry of the experiment allows measurement on sparkling beverages.

We demonstrate microfluidic devices for terahertz spectroscopy of biomolecules in aqueous solutions. The devices are fabricated out of a plastic material that is both mechanically rigid and optically transparent with near-zero dispersion in the terahertz frequency range. Using a lowpower terahertz time-domain spectrometer, we experimentally measure the absorption spectra of the vibrational mode...

We investigate the reflection near the reststrahlen band of the optical phonon in bulk GaAs in the time domain, using time-resolved terahertz spectroscopy. We find that the dynamics of the reflection measured for GaAs differs strongly from the reflection dynamics that would be expected for a TO phonon with a frequency-independent dephasing time.
