Abstract
The interaction of a terahertz beam with a sample containing a material boundary across the profile of the terahertz beam produces characteristic spectroscopic detail. A full vectorial model is presented to quantify boundary definition for a series of wedged geometries. As a result of this work, using simple geometric forms, we wish to be able to extend these ideas to characterize boundaries in more irregular samples, impacting most application areas of pulsed terahertz radiation.
