Abstract :
The terahertz pulse (THz pulse) propagation in biological tissue is simulated by Monte Carlo method (MCM). The migratory route of THz pulse in the tissue is presented. The computation model is based on the assumption that the refraction indexes of tissue and air are mismatch and both surfaces of the tissue have the reflection effect for THz pulse
