Characterization of Wheat Varieties Using Terahertz Time-Domain Spectroscopy
نویسندگان
چکیده
Terahertz (THz) spectroscopy and multivariate data analysis were explored to discriminate eight wheat varieties. The absorption spectra were measured using THz time-domain spectroscopy from 0.2 to 2.0 THz. Using partial least squares (PLS), a regression model for discriminating wheat varieties was developed. The coefficient of correlation in cross validation (R) and root-mean-square error of cross validation (RMSECV) were 0.985 and 1.162, respectively. In addition, interval PLS was applied to optimize the models by selecting the most appropriate regions in the spectra, improving the prediction accuracy (R = 0.992 and RMSECV = 0.967). Results demonstrate that THz spectroscopy combined with multivariate analysis can provide rapid, nondestructive discrimination of wheat varieties.

Application of Terahertz Time-Domain Spectroscopy in Detecting Gaps with Different Widths.
The characterization of fractures is of vital importance for studies in many industries. In the present work, we used terahertz reflection measurements to identify simulated gaps of different widths that resemble fractures. The time interval between pulses (Δt) was proportional to the distance between the interfaces. In addition, fast Fourier transform (FFT) corresponding to the waveforms was a...

We use a time-domain analysis method to characterize the outer layer of a multilayer structure regardless of the inner ones, thus simplifying the characterization of all the layers. We combine this method with THz reflection spectroscopy to detect nondestructively a hidden aluminum oxide layer under opaque paint and to measure its conductivity and high-frequency dielectric constant in the THz r...

We report a method to determine the four Stokes parameters of each spectral component in a broadband terahertz (THz) pulse by using a continuously rotating analyzer and a standard THz time domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS) instrument. A complete characterization of the polarization state at each frequency is obtained through a single time-domain measurement. Our method requires no specialized THz e...

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 ...
