Abstract :
Summary form only given. We show results on THz-TDS measurements on polystyrene foam which demonstrate that this material has dielectric properties that make it very suitable for many THz applications. We have measured the frequency-dependent extinction and refractive index of three kinds of polystyrene foam.
