Abstract :
We have established a novel spectroscopy that is a combination of THz time-domain spectroscopy and attenuated total-reflection technique. This spectroscopy enables us to explore surface polariton modes in metals and dielectrics. In addition, this will open a new possibility for biological and medical sensing in waters.
