TDS, for Time Domain System, or Time Domain Spectroscopy, refers to terahertz systems using a femtosecond laser to generate ultra short pulses. The frequency band of these systems is typically 0.1 to 4 THz for systems using photoconductive antennas. It is also possible to reach much wider frequency bands using crystals or air plasma generation.
This paper focuses on the analysis of time-domain data regarding the measurements conducted on a French Renaissance painting realized on a metal substrate (copper). We specifically focus on the dielectric characterization of the varnish layer and its ageing consequences on THz images. Principal investigators are Quentin Cassar and Corinna Koch Dandolo. The painting The oil…
In the course of in vitro studies of blood of laboratory animals with progressing Ehrlich carcinoma, we have revealed the change of the blood plasma optical properties in the THz range, which can be used for developing the express diagnostics of the presence of oncological diseases. An applied software package is elaborated that allows the…
In this review, we describe dielectric properties of biological tissues and liquids in the context of terahertz (THz) biophotonics. We discuss a model of the THz dielectric permittivity of water and water-containing media, which yields analysis of the relaxation and damped resonant molecules modes. We briefly describe modern techniques of THz spectroscopy and imaging employed in biophotonics with a strong emphasize on a…
Terahertz spectroscopy is a non-destructive analytical technique used in art conservation and restoration. It can provide compelling data concerning the composition and condition of culturally valuable and historical objects. Terahertz spectral databases of modern and ancient artists’ pigments exist, but lack explanations for the origins of the unique spectral features. This paper present terahertz spectra…
