Abstract

We present a phase feature extraction technique for weakly polarized organic compounds in THz-RTDS by taking the second derivative of the phase of the signal beam with respect to frequency. In nitrogen purged environment this method doesn't require any reference. In real scenarios, a reference beam is applied only to remove the influence of atmospheric attenuation. This method offers a straightforward and speedy way to retrieve the absorption features in the reflection spectrum without the presence of the amplitude of the THz pulse or the settlement of a reference surface. It opens the pathways for the application of a more un-conventional THz emission mechanism and extends the capability of THz sensing technology into more practical sensing and imaging situations.
