Abstract :
We investigate various composite systems in the terahertz frequency regime and apply different effective medium theories to model their dielectric response. A broad variety of composites is considered, ranging from polymeric compound mixtures to biological samples. For each case, the effective medium theory of choice is illuminated in detail.
