  • Abstract
    THz Time Domain Spectroscopy can be use to image optically opaque objects or detect different materials. It is a non-destructive, non-ionizing and non-contact measurement technique. We propose to use terahertz to analyze different models of Egyptian papyrus. By using the ink parameters we demonstrate the possibility to image multilayer papyrus distant by 500 μm.
