Abstract :
We present two fiber-coupled terahertz (THz) time-domain transceiver heads that are well suited for zero degree reflection measurements and allow for flexible handling. One consists of only one photoconductive switch that is capable of emitting and detecting at the same time and the other operates with two antennas and a beam splitter made from a polypropylene-titanium (PP-TiO2) compound.
