In this contribution, we discuss the features of design and polarimetric inspection of terahertz achromatic waveplates. The design of the crystalline quartz half-wave plate was performed taking into account the ellipticity and the introduced phase difference between the orthogonal components of the output radiation polarization vector. The designed waveplate are relatively thin, work equally efficiently in the frequency range from 0.4 to 1.4 THz, and, most importantly, are cheap to manufacture. The modification of the experimental terahertz time-domain spectroscopy polarimetric setup involving direct waveform detection is proposed. The proposed polarimetry THz time-domain spectrometer with electro-optic detection shows parasitical signals absence and easier measurement procedure.
In this paper we study the influence of the period between U-shaped split-ring resonators (SRRs) on the trans- mission/absorbtion properties and refraction index of metasurfaces in THz frequency range (0.1 - 1 THz) using experiments and numerical simulations. The metasurfaces are formed by U-shaped SRRs arrays. The period varies from 63 to 300 μm The metasurface electromagnetic responses are obtained using terahertz time-domain spectroscopy. The experimental and numerical results reveal the shift in transmission spectra for the metasurface response and the tuning of absorbtion intensity at the period between U-shaped SRRs changing. The notable change in the metasurface refractive index is shown.
In the present paper research results of broadband THz radiation influence in a range 0.1÷2 THz on some biological tissues
are presented. Theoretical modeling of THz radiation propagation through the fat sample is performed. Experimental
absorption spectra of samples of vegetable oil, nail tissue, skin tissue and blood are obtained. Spectra of these tissues differ
in a range of 0.1 ÷ 2 THz. Also they depend on water content. From these samples vegetable oil has the best transmission.
