  • Abstract
    This article presents an approach to the measurement of the amplitude linearity in terahertz time-domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS) systems. The approach exploits a single wafer of high-purity float-zone silicon to produce multiple Fabry-Perot reflections, which are stepwise attenuated and delayed. Comparison between the theoretical and experimental results can indicate a deviation in linearity.
