小波变换在太赫兹时域光谱分析中的应用

Application of the Wavelet Transform in Terahertz Time-Domain Spectroscopy

随着超快激光技术的发展及其人们对太赫兹(THz)电磁波波段与脉冲光源认识的进一步深入,太赫兹时域光谱(THz-TDS)技术作为一种新的、快速发展的光谱分析方法在许多领域备受关注。利用太赫兹时域光谱技术在空气环境下测量样品时,样品的太赫兹光谱会因空气中水蒸气的影响而出现振荡现象。文章利用太赫兹时域光谱分析技术分别在氮气和空气环境下测量了七种样品在0.2～1.9太赫兹波段的光谱,并以氮气环境下的太赫兹光谱为参考,利用小波变换对空气环境下测量的数据进行了处理,消除了太赫兹光谱中水蒸气吸收造成的影响,实验结果证明了该方法的可行性,在此基础上,还对其中四种样品做了成像和识别,并得到了较好的结果。

With the development of ultrafast laser technique and deeper understanding of the terahertz （THz）electromagnetic wave, THz time domain spectroscopy （THz-TDS）has become a novel and rapidly developed technique. It has been applied in many fields such as biomedical diagnostics, semiconductor wafer diagnostics, and inspection of artwork. However, the achieved spectrum will exhibit strong oscillations when it is measured in air environment due to the absorption of water vapor. In the present paper, spectra in the range of 0. 2-1.9 THz for seven kinds of samples were measured by THz-TDs in both nitrogen and air environment. The wavelet transform was used to process the data measured in the air environment to eliminate the influence of water vapor. The feasibility of this method was demonstrated by the experimental results.
