Terahertz Time-Domain Spectroscopy for Material Characterization

Terahertz time-domain spectroscopy is used to study properties of nonpolar amorphous materials. Terahertz absorption spectra and refractive indices were measured in a number of glasses, lubricating oils, and polymers, and the results were correlated with material properties.
