Quantitative detection of THz-ATR spectra of aqueous samples under strong-field terahertz wave

Wei Shi et al.

Summary: Due to the characteristics of THz wave, the terahertz time-domain spectral (THz-TDS) system has potential in the detection of biological macromolecules. The focus of research in this field is to study aqueous samples, as water has a strong absorption effect on THz waves. This study used a THz-TDS system with LiNbO3 crystal to generate strong THz waves and tested alpha-lactose samples with different water contents. The absorption peak at 0.53 THz was detected, and the absorption spectrum shifted upwards with increasing water content. This research guides the testing and improvement of water content limits in this field.

Perspective on Terahertz Applications in Bioscience and Biotechnology

Andrea G. Markelz et al.

Summary: Within the field of terahertz science and technology, the intersection of terahertz measurements and methods with biology and medicine is an active area of research. However, this field has been plagued with misleading ideas that need to be clarified. The purpose of this Perspective is to highlight and distinguish these mistaken concepts from interesting works in the marriage of terahertz with biology and medicine.

Effective absorption coefficient and effective thickness in attenuated total reflection spectroscopy

A. Mendoza-Galvan et al.

Summary: The letter discusses the relationship between reflectivity and absorption coefficient in attenuated total reflection (ATR) spectroscopy, proposing a more detailed derivation formula to define the ATR-effective absorption coefficient and the penetration depth of the electric field in the absorbing material. Experimental data demonstrates the reliability of the ATR-effective absorption coefficient in materials such as water, chitosan, and soda-lime glass in the infrared range.

Using Attenuated Total Reflection (ATR) Apparatus to Investigate the Temperature Dependent Dielectric Properties of Water, Ice, and Tissue-Representative Fats

Zoltan Vilagosh et al.

Summary: A novel method using synchrotron radiation in the THz range to investigate the temperature-dependent variation of the complex refractive index n* in samples is presented. The method relies on ATR apparatus and minimal sample preparation, demonstrating the concept of monitoring temperature reflectance continuously. The study shows that emulsified water in Lurpak(R) butter retains liquid-water-like THz properties at freezing temperatures without rapid reflection intensity change.

Attenuated Total Reflection at THz Wavelengths: Prospective Use of Total Internal Reflection and Polariscopy

Meguya Ryu et al.

Summary: This study presents the capabilities of attenuated total reflection (ATR) at THz wavelengths for increased sub-surface depth characterization of (bio-)materials. It discusses technical challenges in using ATR for uneven, heterogeneous, high refractive index samples, and explores local field enhancements at the interface as well as modeling behaviors of absorber-scatterer inside the materials at the interface.
