Quality control of leather by terahertz time-domain spectroscopy.

چکیده
We use terahertz time-domain spectroscopy, combined with effective-medium theory, to measure the moisture content and thickness of leather simultaneously. These results demonstrate that this method could become a standard quality control test for the industrial tanning process.

Beating the wavelength limit: three-dimensional imaging of buried subwavelength fractures in sculpture and construction materials by terahertz time-domain reflection spectroscopy.
We use reflection terahertz spectroscopy to locate and produce three-dimensional images of air gaps between stones that resemble fractures, even of subwavelength thicknesses. This technique is found to be promising tool for sculpture and building damage evaluation as well as structural quality control in other dielectric materials.
متن کاملDetermination of additive content in polymeric compounds with terahertz time-domain spectroscopy
We present terahertz transmission time-domain spectroscopy measurements on a variety of additive-polymer combinations with differing additive contents. At lower terahertz frequencies, standard polymers are transparent. When processed into compounds, their terahertz properties are distinctively affected by additives in most cases. The materials under investigation are magnesium hydroxide in line...
متن کاملHydration dynamics of oriented DNA films investigated by time-domain terahertz spectroscopy
The B to A conformational transition of highly oriented DNA films due to a hydration change is observed with time-domain terahertz spectroscopy. Wet-spun films of calf thymus and salmon DNA are investigated for different film thicknesses and for different polarizations of the terahertz radiation relative to the DNA orientation. A clear polarization dependence is observed. Asynchronous optical s...
متن کاملTerahertz spectroscopy of quantum 2D electron systems
Terahertz time-domain spectroscopy permits the coherent motion of charges to be examined in a diverse range of two-dimensional semiconductor heterostructures. Studies of the THz conductivity and magnetoconductivity of two-dimensional quantum systems are reviewed, including cyclotron resonance spectroscopy and the transverse conductivity in the Hall and quantum Hall regimes. Experiments are desc...
متن کاملA Single-shot Terahertz Time-domain Spectroscopy Instrument for Intense Laser System
A single-shot terahertz time-domain spectroscopy method is developed using an echelon-pair. Terahertz waveform is encoded to a beamlets array by electro-optic effect, with a total time window of 37.7 ps and a time step of 94.3 fs. Comparing with spectral encoding methods, this technique directly encodes terahertz waveform to spatial resolution, which is more suited as a terahertz diagnosis for ...
