Terahertz time-domain spectroscopy characterization of the far-infrared absorption and index of refraction of high-resistivity, float-zone silicon
نویسندگان
چکیده
The far-infrared absorption and index of refraction of high-resistivity, float-zone, crystalline silicon has been measured by terahertz time-domain spectroscopy. The measured new upper limit for the absorption of this most transparent dielectric material in the far infrared shows unprecedented transparency over the range from 0.5 to 2.5 THz and a well-resolved absorption feature at 3.6 THz. The index of refraction shows remarkably little dispersion, changing by only 0.0001 over the range from 0.5 to 4.5 THz. © 2004 Optical Society of America OCIS codes: 320.0320, 300.0300, 300.6270, 250.0250.

Waveguide terahertz time-domain spectroscopy of nanometer water layers.
Waveguide terahertz time-domain spectroscopy is demonstrated to have the sensitivity to characterize nanometer-thick water layers on the surfaces of a parallel-plate metal waveguide. The measured far-infrared absorption and index of refraction of the 20-nm water layers are in reasonable self-consistent agreement with those of bulk water.

Using terahertz time-domain spectroscopy, we have measured the index of refraction and the absorption coefficient of the organic ionic salt 4-N, N-dimethylamino-4?-N?-methyl-stilbazolium tosylate (DAST). This promising organic electro-optic material exhibits strong absorption and dispersion for frequencies above 1 THz at both room temperature and 83 K. No reduction in the absorption strength is...

In the room temperature and nitrogen conditions, we presented well-resolved absorption spectra and indexes of refraction of bactericide molecules in the far infrared radiation (FIR) spectral region recorded by terahertz time-domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS). As illustrative examples we discussed the absorption spectra of captan and folpet in THz region. The absorption coefficient and index of refr...

We report a terahertz time-domain spectroscopy study of the adsorption of water in hydrophilic silica aerogel. The adsorbed water is in submonolayer form and shows properties of index of refraction similar to those of bulk water but different absorption properties.
متن کاملElectrical characterization to 4 THz of IV- and P-type GaAs using THz time-domain spectroscopy
In contrast to silicon, it is not possible to electrically characterize GaAs wafers with simple mechanical contacts, due to the Schottky barrier at the metal/GaAs interface. For such characterization ohmic contacts must be fabricated on the wafer itself. Accordingly, manufacturers specifications on device-grade GaAs wafers are relatively imprecise. This is especially true for N-type doping, due...
