| Popis: | We performed the transmission-mode terahertz (THz) pulsed spectroscopy of several THz-wave penetration- enhancing agents (PEAs): glycerol, propylene glycol, ethylene glycol, and polyethylene glycol, featuring the molecular weight of 200, 300 and 400. We vacuumized the THz beam path in order to reduce an impact of water vapor on measured data. We reconstructed optical properties and dielectric constants of the abovementioned PEAs in the spectral range of 0.1 to 2.5 THz. We analyzed measured THz optical properties along with the literature data for coefficients of PEAs' diffusion into tissues in order to objectively uncover strength and weaknesses of their use in the immersion optical clearing of tissues at THz frequencies. |
