Terahertz time-domain spectroscopy has been used to study the optical properties of $Pr^{3+}-doped$ selenide glasses. The complex refractive indexes of $Pr^{3+}-selenide$ glasses were measured in a frequency range from 0.3 to 1.5 THz. The real and imaginary refractive indexes increased with increasing frequency and $Pr^{3+}$ ion concentration. The obtained result indicated that the phonon modes of the $Pr^{3+}-doped$ selenide glasses shift to lower frequencies with the concentration of $Pr^{3+}$ ions. The theory of far-infrared absorption in amorphous materials was used to analyze the results. The measured data showed that the disorder-induced terahertz absorption increased with increasing $Pr^{3+}$ ion concentration.

Using THz time-domain spectroscopy, we study plasmonic band gaps in periodic metal arrays of slits. Femtosecnd machining system guarantees good quality sub millimeter structures for THz spectroscopy. Fabry-Perot effect enhances the transmission when the two resonances cross but does not alter the surface plasmon peak positions.

스피로파이란은 반복적인 광 변색현상 과정에서 광 퇴화 특성을 보이는 대표적인 물질이다. 스피로파이란은 뛰어난 안정성, 빠른 응답속도, 강한 색 변화, 빛에 의한 물질의 화학적, 물리적 특성 조절이 가능하다는 점으로 광 스위치, 광 메모리, 바이오 센서 등의 다양한 분야에 적용되고 있다. 하지만 스피로파이란은 광 퇴화되며 기능이 점차 떨어지기 때문에, 광퇴화에 따른 스피로파이란의 특성 변화에 대해 자외선-가시광선 분광법, 핵 자기 공명 분광법, 라만 분광법 등을 이용한 많은 연구가 이루어지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 스피로파이란의 광 퇴화 특성을 테라헤르츠 주파수 영역에서 테라헤르츠 시간 영역 분광법(Terahertz time-domain spectroscopy, THz-TDS)을 이용하여 측정 및 분석하였다. 반복적인 자외선 조사에 따른 스피로파이란의 광 퇴화 특성이 테라헤르츠 영역에서의 흡수량 증가로 나타남을 확인하였다. 이러한 스피로파이란의 광 퇴화 특성이 야기하는 테라헤르츠 영역 흡수량 변화 경향은 가시광선 영역 흡수량 변화 경향과 서로 반대됨을 확인할 수 있었다.

As feature sizes of circuits and devices approach 100 m and chip frequencies climb into the upper gigahertz to terahertz range, it becomes increasingly important to have a convenient method of characterizing properties of thin dielectric films in the GHz to THz frequency range [1]. To measure the dielectric and optical properties of materials at THz frequency, a TH2 time-domain spectroscopy has been utilized during past decade. (중략)

Via THz Time domain spectroscopy, the characterization of high conductive n-type, 1.31Ω cm silicon can be measured by directly analyzing the multiple reflections using Fabry-Perot theory. The magnitude and phase difference of total transmission show good agreement between theoretical and experimental values over a 2.5 THz frequency range with complex index of refraction and power absorption. The measured absorption and dispersion are strongly frequency-dependent, and all of the results are well fit by a Cole-Davidson type distribution.

We present a method of using one-dimensional dielectric multilayer structures for designing terahertz frequency spreading filters. The interference of terahertz pulses in these structures composed of alternating weak and strong refractive materials allows design of well-separated THz frequency components within a modulation-limited THz spectral envelope. The design characteristics of these coarse THz combs are limited by the saturation effect and also by the deformation of the THz pulse time-traveling within the structure. The details of the designed THz waveform synthesis from these THz multilayer spectral filters are verified by experiments using time-domain terahertz pulsed spectroscopy.

Over the past decade the experimental technique of THz time domain spectroscopy (㎔- TDS) has proved to be a versatile method for investigating a wide range of phenomena in the ㎔ or far infrared spectral region from 100 ㎓ to 5 ㎔. This paper reviews some recent results of the Ultrafast ㎔ Research Group at Oklahoma State University using ㎔-TDS as a characterization tool. The experimental technique is described along with recent results on ㎔ beam propagation and how ㎔ beam profiles arise from propagation of pulse fronts along caustics. To illustrate how spatio-temporal electric field measurements can determine material properties over a wide spectral range, propagation of ㎔ pulses through systems exhibiting frustrated total internal reflection (FTIR) are reviewed. Finally two potential metrology applications of ㎔-TDS are discussed, thin film characterization and non-destructive evaluation of ceramics. Although ㎔-TDS has been confined to the research laboratory, the focus on application may stimulate the adoption of ㎔- TDS for industrial or metrology applications.

Using THz time-domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS), the power absorption, the index of refraction, and the real conductivity of silica sand are measured from 0.1[Thz] to 0.5[Thz] frequency range. It is impossible to measure the characterization of the silica sand by simple electrical measurements using mechanical contacts, e.g., Hall effect or four-point probe measurements. However, the THz-TDS technique can measure not only electrical but also optical characterization of he sample. Also this technique can measure frequency dependent results. Especially, the real conductivity was increased according to THz frequency. This is unusual material compare with metal and semiconductor materials; the measured real conductivity are not followed by the simple Drude theory.

We report the terahertz time-domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS) of transdermal drug delivery in human skin. The time evolution of transdermal nicotine delivery in nicotine patches was assessed by detecting the transmission coefficient of sub-picosecond THz pulses and using a semi-analytic model based on the single-layer effective medium approximation. Using commercial nicotine patches (Nicoderm CQ^®, 7 mg/24 h), THz transmission coefficients were measured to quantitatively analyze the cumulative amounts of nicotine released from the patches in the absence of their detailed specifications, including multilayer structures and optical properties at THz frequencies. The results agreed well with measurements by conventional in vitro and in vivo methods, using a diffusion cell with high-performance liquid chromatography and blood sampling respectively. Our study revealed the ability of the THz-TDS method to be an effective alternative to existing methods for noninvasive and label-free assessments of transdermal drug delivery, showing its high promise for biomedical, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic applications.
