Mail Inspection Based on Terahertz Time-Domain Spectroscopy

One of the most prominent applications of terahertz time-domain spectroscopy is the spectral investigation of materials covered by visibly opaque objects. Therefore, terahertz waves are well suited to inspect the content of mail. We report on our work on mail inspection in this spectral range includ...

description One of the most prominent applications of terahertz time-domain spectroscopy is the spectral investigation of materials covered by visibly opaque objects. Therefore, terahertz waves are well suited to inspect the content of mail. We report on our work on mail inspection in this spectral range including machine design, optical layouts, data analysis, and implementations.
