Abstract :
The reflection properties of porcine skin are examined in the terahertz (THz) frequency range utilizing a Fourier transform infrared spectrometer with a reflection unit. Their dependence on the frequency and other parameters such as the surface structure is analyzed in order to determine whether porcine skin can be used as surrogate for human skin in the THz frequency range.
