Abstract: | Pulsed THz (T-ray) spectroscopy is sensitive, non-invasive tool for studying materials from physics to biology, but transmission measurements of liquid samples, especially water, have been limited by noise. This paper shows that the accuracy of T-ray material parameter measurements of liquid samples can be greatly increased, especially for highly-absorbing liquids, by using a rapid modulation of the liquid in the T-ray beam path, coupled with a novel implementation of mean and amplitude detection to T-ray spectroscopy. The experiments are supported by calculations quantifying the sources of uncertainty. Liquid transmission T-ray studies are valuable for understanding solvation dynamics of salts, exploring long-range structure in mixtures and probing biomolecules in suspension. |
