Abstract :
Summary from only given. We report the first measurements of the transmission of single-cycle THz pulses through a random medium. A model random medium can be constructed using commercially available polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE, teflon) spheres (n = 1.43). The spheres are contained in a teflon sample cell, with windows a fixed distance apart. In order to perform length-dependent studies, we fabricated fifty such cells.
