Abstract :
We demonstrate how a transfer function model based parameter extraction method, combined with total variance analysis, allows the extraction of both the complex refractive index and the thickness of a sample over a bandwidth of >6 THz from THz time-domain spectroscopy measurements. We discuss how the techniques developed have been applied to absorbent powders measured at variable low temperatures.
