Abstract :
We have developed a terahertz frequency-domain optical coherence tomography system based on the frequency-domain spectroscopy using a photoconductive antenna and an external cavity diode laser. The observation of the axial reflectivity profile is demonstrated for a high-resistivity silicone plate.
